| 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... |

| 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.
