Overview
Registered in 2010 by M. Zilis, this miniature hosta forms a compact mound of white-centered foliage with medium green margins. A hybrid of Hosta sieboldii, 'Pixie Power' is notable for its small, dense habit and leaves that display white centers with green speckling, bordered by medium green margins.
In the Garden
'Pixie Power' reaches approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) in height and 13 inches (33.0 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its miniature size makes it well-suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders. Companion plants might include small ferns, miniature sedges, or low-growing woodland perennials that do not overwhelm its diminutive stature.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, 'Pixie Power' may be susceptible to slug damage; regular monitoring and control measures are advisable in damp conditions. Deer may also browse the foliage.
