Miniature Hostas for My Garden


I have lots of shade in my garden around the cottage, so
I am always looking for interesting things to plant.  It's hard
because so many plants like sun.  When I discovered these mini
hostas, I fell in love with them.



And mini ferns too ... so cute that the fairies must be 
dancing!!

Bentley and I wish you a happy Monday.

Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley

    Happy Monday to you too, Susan. The little mini's would be lovely in a table centerpiece too. I have a perfect place for them on my patio. I have to go to the garden shop this morning so will take a look.

    I had no idea that hostas came in the mini form. Mine are huge! These look adorable and fairy friendly, to be sure!!
    Wishing you a happy Monday too.

    Didn't know hosta's came in a mini-version - in our yard they would be a deer appetizer before they moved on to the larger version for the main course ... gotta love nature!

    I love this mini collection! I have hostas - some mini, but not from design, but from being planted in the wrong place. I love the little basket you've planted.

    My daughter makes container fairy gardens here and there--she is in love with the tiny hostas, but we haven't been able to find them locally. They are SOO pretty, though!

    I've never heard of the minis before! I have one that only grows to about 10-12" but minis sound like fun:@)
