Overview
Registered in 2009 by K. Walek, *Hosta* 'Fine Points' is a small, mound-forming cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinctive for its broadly ovate, moderately wavy leaves with green margins and dull upper surfaces.
In the Garden
This small hosta reaches approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and spreads to 33 inches (83.8 cm) in diameter, forming a dense, rounded mound. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for the genus, and pairs well with other small shade perennials such as ferns or heucheras. Its compact size makes it suitable for container cultivation or front-of-border placement.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage; monitor regularly and take protective measures if needed.
