Hosta 'Minnie Bell'
 

This self-pollinated seedling of H. 'Neat Splash' was registered by Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan in 1985. It forms a medium size (11 inches high) mound of moderately wavy foliage and bears medium purple flowers in August.


 

According to The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000), this cultivar is "...like a mini-'Yellow Splash Rim'."

The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack (2010) says: "Light to moderate shade will bring out the best in this plant. Striking foliage. Suits the larger raised bed and big container."



   


We suspect that the hosta shown above is mislabeled...or someone has given this small or miniature size plant a duplicate name.
