    Thanks, Don. From your list the smallest is 2" Shining Tot and Tiny Tears. I wonder anyone has something less than this.

    How about Hidden Cove? Mine was new this year but never got bigger that 2 x 2, either before or after the bunnies got to it. Had to use repellant numerous times. Sue

    I just got Lime Fizz this spring... It's a mini.

    Hosta Library says "Ballerina" is a medium at 24" x12".

    I think H'Winter Lightning' is a medium to large. None of mine appear to be minis.

    Winter Lightning is not small -- but some TCs are stunted. Mine, after 5 years, is still small.

    Other mini/dwarfs

    Lakeside Little Gem
    Lemon Frost
    Cookie Crumbs
    Pepperment Ice
    Looking Pretty

    And check the spelling -- I think it's Teeny-weeny Bikini.

    Wow---this was just what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the info on sizes! I've been searching for an hour and cannot for the life of me find a mini/dwarf hosta with pure white flowers. Can you help me out? :) :) :)

    Is this list not on Hosta Library? I couldn't find it when looking earlier.

    Gosh, aren't some of these too big to be called dwarf or minis?

    To add to the list:

    Country Mouse, Cat and Mouse, Frosted Mouse Ears, Green Mouse Ears, Might Mouse, Pure Heart.

    Lakeside Elfin Fire
    MinniHaHa (have seen this spelled several ways)

    Since Don started this thread there has been a rethink/redo on the part of the AHS with respect to dwarf and miniature Hostas. A miniature Hosta is now classified as having a leaf size of The revised list Don did for miniatures and very small Hostas can be found at my website, Bob Axmear has moved the link to my site to his links page on the HL, that has made finding the lists more difficult. I suggest you redo your bookmark/favorite for the lists.

    aaaahh, thanks

    Since I'm "approaching buildout", if I add any more, they'll have to be mini/small. DH is relieved that the amount of shade on our suburban lot effectively serves to limit my hosta gardening budget.

    It's "Allan P. McConnell". -- "P" not "O"

    And there are more missing -- Little Caesar, and a Lemon Frost look-a-like that I can't remember the name of. I'm going to have to go do an inventory...

    Thanks for putting together this list.
