MINIATURE HOSTAS
The American Hosta Society has adopted the following requirement for miniature hostas:
> Leaf blade area must be less than 6.0 square inches (38.7 sq cm).
There is no restriction on clump spread.
Leaf size dimensions (length x width) given below are from the AHS Hosta Registry. In many cases, the registered dimensions are different than those provided in The Hostapedia and other sources. This is because measurements of mature plants from the field have shown that some hostas typically grow larger or smaller than the registration indicates.
For the convenience of on-line viewing of this list it is broken down into two sections, Registered Miniature Hostas and Unregistered Miniature Hostas.
