Logo indicating plant is one of Plant Delights' Introductions

Hosta sieboldii 'Tiny Twister' is a 2018 Plant Delights introduction that makes a wonderful specimen in the small rock garden. We began the creation process in 1997 with a Dan Hinkley wild collection of Hosta sieboldii from Honshu Japan. We proceeded to self-pollinate the original plant each year, then selecting the smallest offspring to self again. What started as a plant with 4" x 6" leaves had been reduced to a 6" tall x 18" wide clump with 1.5" wide x 3" long leaves. Hosta sieboldii 'Tiny Twister' shows amazing vigor as it quickly develops into an incredibly dense mound of wavy green leaves. The clumps are topped with 15" tall spikes of purple flowers in summer. Whether you're a hosta breeder or a rock gardener, we think you'll like Hosta 'Tiny Twister'.
