Mark Zilis of Illinois registered this
tissue culture sport of H. 'Tiny
Tears' in 2002. The miniature size plant grows to about 5 inches
in height with a spread of 16 inches. Its green foliage has a
white marginal variegation and the leaves have smooth texture
with average substance. Medium purple flowers bloom in July.
The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack
(2010) says: "Keep out of bright sunshine to maintain that hint of
blue. Ideal in a collection of small hostas in a container."

In answer to a question about growing smaller hostas that appeared in
The
Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 2),
Chuck & Sue Anderson
of Mason Hollow Nursery in New Hampshire made the following comment, "H.
'Cracker Crumbs', 'Cookie Crumbs' and 'Surfer Girl' are a little thinner on the
substance and maybe not quite as drought tolerant, but what an awesome
4-to-6-inch-high, weed-choking mat they can form." |
