The category size ‘dwarf’ has been eliminated in an effort to simplify our definition of size.

 

Whilst these size definitions may seem very exact, in practice the leaves of a mature Hosta clump may vary enormously.  These size definitions are most helpful when comparing the relative leaf size of one plant to another.  Please remember that even a miniature Hosta can, in time, grow into a large clump!

 

To assist you in your choice of Hosta we have selected a range of plants in order of  the resistance to slug and snail damage and their tolerance to sunny situations.
