Hosta Teenyweeny Bikini Central America discovered by hosta breeder HansThis teeny weeny hosta comes from the late Ed Elslager's prolific hosta breeding program. The tiny 8" wide clump is composed of long, shiny, tapered leaves, each creamy white with a dark green border. In late August, the clumps are topped with 9" scapes of dark purple flowers great for low flying hummingbirds. This surprisingly vigorous clump makes a delightful specimen where a bright miniature hosta is needed.
