Which is smaller, mini or dwarf? I'm looking for tiniest cultivars, but I like the hosta that is blue or pure white, with white flowers, do small cultivars come in these colors? |

I believe dwarf is smaller than mini. You can go to www.hostalibrary.org to see Don Rawson's list of hostas including sizes and color. Nice site and nice list... |

Dwarf grow up to 4" and miniature are 4" to 6". Small are 6" to 10". |

Keith, if you want these for spring, I will send you a list of dwarf and mini hostas that I will have available in spring. |

I don't believe that the American Hosta Society recognizes any category called "Dwarf". For them it is just "mini". However, as we know, the size of a mini hosta can vary widely. But I think for many people the terminology is interchangeable and if people use both, they generally think of "dwarf" as being smaller.

I used Van Wade's catalogue as my source. |
