H. ‘Pixie Power’

Overview

Registered in 2010 by M. Zilis, this miniature hosta forms a compact mound of white-centered foliage with medium green margins. A hybrid of *Hosta sieboldii*, 'Pixie Power' is notable for its small, dense habit and leaves that display white centers with green speckling, bordered by medium green margins.

In the Garden

'Pixie Power' reaches approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) in height and 13 inches (33.0 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its miniature size makes it well-suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders. Companion plants might include small ferns, miniature sedges, or low-growing woodland perennials that do not overwhelm its diminutive stature.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many hostas, 'Pixie Power' may be susceptible to slug damage; regular monitoring and control measures are advisable in damp conditions. Deer may also browse the foliage.
