“Dew Drop” is a miniature variety of Hosta that has dark green leaves with a white edge. The foliage is complemented with lilac-coloured flowers through summer which are held neatly above the leaves. This herbaceous perennial typically grows to 15 cm tall and 20 cm wide, and in cooler climates it may die back during winter but will regrow again when conditions warm in spring. It grows best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not dry out. It is tolerant of moderate frost but will benefit from being protected while it is establishing. “Dew Drop” is commonly planted as a groundcover, included in borders, used in “tropical” and cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas. A mass planting affords an impressive display.
