Overview
Registered in 1996 by P. Ruh, this miniature hosta forms a compact mound of narrow, variegated leaves. Its most distinctive feature is the light green leaf margins with slight rippling, combined with a flat leaf base and a modest four pairs of veins.
In the Garden
'Hosta Seven-Eleven' reaches approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) in height and 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as typical for hostas, and its small size makes it well suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of a shaded border. Companion plants might include small ferns, heucheras, or other miniature hostas that share similar light and moisture requirements.
Care Notes
Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage the foliage, so monitoring and protective measures are advisable in areas where these pests are prevalent.
