Registered in 2005 by H. Batten and subsequently registered by P. & J. Ruh, *Hosta* 'Iced Lemon' is a sport of *Hosta* 'Lemon Delight'. This miniature cultivar is distinguished by its small, mound-like habit and lance-shaped leaves of light green with narrow, white, slightly rippled margins.

In the Garden

It is suitable for the front of shaded borders, rock gardens, or container plantings, and pairs well with other small-scale shade perennials such as miniature ferns or *Heuchera*.
