This is a cute little mini/small hosta that deserves more recognition. Back when we grew it was a dud seller, then it would flower and those black scapes would always catch the eye of a few people shopping late in the year. Unfortunately it took me years to sell the original batch that we grew so we never started any more of them. It might have just been that the price was always a bit too high - wholesale prices were set higher than they should have been, I think.

ViolaAnn,
Your PV looks really good. I planted mine too late last fall and then with our early hot spring it suffered a set back. It has recovered nicely though but doesn't look as good as yours right now.

'Pixie Vamp' still looks good. I just moved it from a pot to a revamped garden and if you are in Ottawa, I have 2 divisions for the local Hort. Society spring auction next year. This one has enough vigour that I'm sure it will do well in the garden. Photo July 16.
