This small hosta hybrid from Japan has long been one of our favorites, but it is rarely grown; probably because of its unpronounceable name. For inquiring minds, mishima means "three islands" and is a location in Japan, and fukurin means "margined." Hosta 'Mishima Fukurin' resembles a dwarf Hosta 'Regal Splendor'. The upright petioles support the outfacing green leaves, each bordered with a nice yellow edge. In midsummer, the 1' tall x 2' wide clumps are topped with 2' tall spikes of dark purple flowers. Hosta 'Mishima Fukurin' is a good grower that multiplies well...we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
