Plant Features
Mini Skirt Hosta produces wonderfully curly, thick leaves with a true green center that fades to creamy yellow at the edges and purple blooms that arise on short 8-inch spikes in midsummer. This charmer does best in containers or in the front of borders. Mini Skirt is so incredible pretty you’ll find yourself blushing! Plantain lilies thrive when grown in moist soils with between 2-5 hours of sun. Plants should be divided every 3-5 years; its best to do so in the fall right before the first frost. Hummingbirds and bees are attracted to it flowers.
