						 Mark Zilis of Illinois registered this   
				tissue culture sport of H. 'Tiny 
				Tears' in 2002.   The miniature size plant grows to about 5 inches 
				in height with a spread of 16 inches. Its green foliage has a 
				white marginal variegation and the leaves have smooth texture 
				with average substance. Medium purple flowers bloom in July. 
				
				The Book of Little Hostas by 													Kathy and Michael Shadrack 
							(2010) says: "Keep out of bright sunshine to maintain that hint of 
			blue. Ideal in a collection of small hostas in a container."

							| In answer to a question about growing smaller hostas that appeared in 
	The 
				Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 2), 
	Chuck & Sue Anderson 
of Mason Hollow Nursery in New Hampshire made the following comment, "H. 
'Cracker Crumbs', 'Cookie Crumbs' and 'Surfer Girl' are a little thinner on the 
substance and maybe not quite as drought tolerant, but what an awesome 
4-to-6-inch-high, weed-choking mat they can form." |
