MIGHTY MITE

Hosta `Mighty Mite', pale lavender, 15-17", August-September. MINI. Mounds 7" high by 18" wide. Leaves 4" long by 3 1/4" wide(5-6vp): SUPER SHINY! with BLACK-PURPLE speckling?! A little bit on top but underneath the leaf! WOW! Black-purple spelled like a ... SO: lay on the ground and look up into the leaf canopy and you'll see why a CRAZY COLLECTOR is a crazy collector! Glaucous bloom underneath just makes the speckles SPECKLE a bit more! (not spackle! We're NOT BUILDING A WALL, yet). Super wavy, moderately cupped, a bit twisted and noticeably folded. Oh, good substance, leathery, dense growth. Don has created a MASTER-piece: a MIGHTY MITE! mini!. (Don Dean, 2004. A seedling from H.`Grand Slam' as the pod parent) My stock dates back to the 2008 AHS Convention from the vendor's table of Naylor Creek and "The Boyz".
