Notes
'Little Aurora' hosta (Hosta 'Little Aurora') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, rock gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average moisture. White flowers with a lavender tinge open from early to late summer and smell fragrant, so bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It stays small at 6 to 9 inches tall and 9 to 12 inches wide.
Pairs well with Alertie peony, Canadian white violet, Autumn crocus, and Rocky mountain juniper.
