H. ‘Little Wonder’

Overview

Registered in 1989 by W. & E. Lachman, 'Little Wonder' is a miniature hosta of unknown parentage. It is distinguished by its small, dark green leaves with broad creamy white margins, forming a compact mound.

In the Garden

'Little Wonder' reaches approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) in height and 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for the front of borders, rock gardens, or trough plantings. It performs best in partial to full shade in typical hosta-growing zones and pairs well with other small perennials such as *Heuchera* or *Tiarella*. Its diminutive size also makes it an excellent choice for container cultivation.

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, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
