The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "A superb small hosta...Equally good in the front
of the border...Leaves have a fancied resemblance to a coffee spoon rather than
a teaspoon for which the plant is named."
The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack
(2010) says: "Grows well in light shade. Ideal for the larger tray
or trough."
