						 This plant with an 
				H. venusta  
				background was registered by
								Dr. Charles Purtymun at 
				Walden West Nursery in Oregon 
				in 1988. A miniature size plant, it grows to about 6 inches in height and spread 
				to about 14 inches. Purple flowers bloom in July followed by 
				viable seeds. 
						
						 According to
				The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...easy to confuse with 
				H.
				venusta. Both become dwarf-  size mounds of oval-shaped 
				green foliage with purple flowers in July."  
				
				The New Encyclopen-pollinated seedling edia of Hostas by
				Diana 
				Grenfell (2009) states in its Miniature Hostas chapter: "Ideal for 
				sinks or small containers. The flowers sometimes rebloom."
