  Hans Hansen of Minnesota registered this miniature size (2˝
inches high by 9 inches wide) cultivar
in 2007. It is a sport of H. 'Bill Dress's Blue' which varies
from the parent plant by having a white marginal variegation around the
bluish-green foliage. The leaves are heart shaped. It bears purple flowers in July.
The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack
(2010) says: "Growth rate and strikingly contrasting color
 make
this a perfect hosta for a small alpine tray,
trough, or large container."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states in its Miniature Hostas chapter: "Best suited in
cooler gardens since the leaves assume a gray-green cast in
hotter climates. Grow with yellow-leaved, rippled-edged
miniature hostas H. 'Osiris
Petit Prince' or H. 'Bitsy
Gold' for contrast...Not as vigorous or as easy to grow as
its parent, from which it differs in having creamy white
margined leaves."
