Info | 'Little Sunspot' is a favorite small hosta, but this sport kicks it up a notch! The heart-shaped leaves of Hosta 'Trifecta' have a snow white center and a fairly wide, deep green margin. Flashes of chartreuse divide the margin and center colors, giving the plant a tricolored effect unique among miniature hostas. Not a fast grower, but will form a trifecta of color about 6" tall by 10" wide. Lavender flowers in midsummer." |
