Hosta 'Dinky Donna' has grey-green leaves with an irregular yellow-green centre. Lavender flowers appear on tall stems in July. It's perfect for growing in a shady border, and is particularly suitable for growing in pots.
For best results grow Hosta 'Dinky Donna' in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade, ideally with a little morning sun as this improves the leaf colour. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost, and protect plants from slugs and snails.
