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."

Chuck & Sue Anderson
of Mason Hollow Nursery in New Hampshire made the following comment, "H.
'Pandora's Box' is one many people report trouble growing. We used to plant it
near the fronts of borders and it never made it. Put in a raised bed, rock
garden-like environment, 'Pandora's Box' is spectacular."

Chuck & Sue Anderson

rocks with well-drained gravelly soil or in a planter."

In answer to a question about growing smaller hostas that appeared in
The
Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 2), Sandie
Markland of North Carolina commented, "There two smaller hostas that really
stand out among the many I have grown over the years: H. 'Gay Blade' and the
truly diminutive, 'Gaijin'...I have grown both of these beauties for the past 15
years and still have the original plants I purchased as a budding collector in
1997. I think that really says something about the plant!"
