Little Aurora Hosta features dainty spikes of lavender tubular flowers rising above the foliage from early to mid summer. Its attractive small textured heart-shaped leaves remain gold in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Little Aurora Hosta is a dense herbaceous perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
Little Aurora Hosta will grow to be only 6 inches tall at maturity extending to 10 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 12 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 10 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.
