Hosta 'Pandora's Box'
Never more than 6 inches high!
Each leaf is just 2 inches long, sporting a gleaming white center surrounded by a bold, irregular margin of blue-green. Very abundantly produced, the foliage is many-layered and full on plants just 4 to 6 inches high and 8 to 10 inches wide. 'Pandora's Box' beautifully fills a 4-inch pot, looks splendid in mixed container plantings, and stands out in the trough or small-setting shade garden.
In midsummer, bell-shaped purple blooms float above the foliage, which keeps its colors nicely even in hot summer climates. A miniature delight that has proven its garden vigor countless times over the years, 'Pandora's Box' is a classic belonging in every Hostaphile's collection. And if you favor petite Hosta cultivars, do not overlook award-winning 'Blue Mouse Ears' and its sport 'Mighty Mouse'! Space plants about 8 inches apart in well-drained soil receiving at least half a day of shade, and enjoy! Zones 3-8.
