What customers say
The 'Mini Skirt' Hosta earns high praise primarily for its exceptional aesthetic appeal. Gardeners love the signature heavily ruffled, variegated foliage, noting its unique texture and brightness, making it perfect for shaded areas and containers. Its compact, miniature size is a significant advantage for smaller gardens. While the plant proves resilient and establishes well with proper care, a recurring point of friction involves the initial size upon delivery. Some customers feel the starter plants are smaller than expected for the cost, slightly impacting the perceived immediate value. Despite this, the consensus confirms that this Hosta is a beautiful, distinctive, and worthwhile addition once established.
