WHAT A GOOD LIST....HOWEVER BE WEARY THAT SOME HOSTA CONSIDERED "SMALL"....DO
GET RATHER LARGE....THERE IS A PROBLEM IN HOSTADOM IN THAT WHAT I CONSIDER
SMALL....ANOTHER MIGHT CONSIDER 'MEDIUM/SMALL'
NOT EVEN ALL HOSTA LISTED AS "DWARF OR MINI", STAY MINI.....E.G. GRAND TIARA
CAN MAKE A 2 FOOT MOUND IN 2 YEARS......SO I WOULD CONSIDER IF AN AGGRESSIVE
SMALL MEDIUM......IT MAY NOT BE APPRPRIATE FOR A TROUGH....
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SMALL......MAYBE A 100 TRUE MINI/DWARFS.....I AM
GUESSING AT THE NUMBERS......WHO KNOWS....
CATALOGS ARE THE BEST PLACE TO START...
