Notes
'Little Sunspot' hosta (Hosta 'Little Sunspot') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, and rock gardens. 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. Fragrant white flowers with pale lavender veins open from early to late summer and draw hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. This compact plant stays 6 to 12 inches tall.
Pairs well with Cutleaf toothwort, Autumn crocus, and Fernleaf peony.
