Hosta 'Fingertips' is a 2021 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of our 2007 hybrid that involves Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears', Hosta 'Silver Bay', Hosta 'Hush Puppie', and a special selection of wild collected Hosta sieboldii. The result is a miniature hosta that matures at 3" tall x 1' wide, composed of pinkie-sized, cardboard-textured, light green leaves. The cute-as-a-button clumps are topped for us, starting in mid-June with a superb show of perfectly proportioned lavender flowers held on thick stalks, just above the mound of foliage. We think Hosta 'Fingertips' will become one of your favorite miniature hostas.
