Overview
Registered in 2001 by an unknown breeder, Hosta 'Lakeside Dixie Doll' is a small, mound-forming cultivar distinguished by its blue-green leaves with broad, creamy white margins. The leaf blade is broadly ovate with a flat base, lightly cupped, and dull on both surfaces, while the margin is flat and measures 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) wide.
In the Garden
This compact hosta reaches 7 inches (17.8 cm) in height and 18 inches (45.7 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of the genus, and is well-suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or container plantings due to its small stature. The pale scapes, rising 12 to 15 inches (30.5 to 38.1 cm) above the foliage, bear lavender flowers in midsummer. Companion plants include small ferns, heucheras, or other dwarf hostas.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage foliage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
