Hosta One Iota

Don’t let its miniature size fool you—One Iota packs an incredible amount of charm into a tiny package. A unique sport of the beloved Blue Mouse Ears, this miniature hosta was introduced by Winterberry Farms’ Jim Anderson and is treasured for its thick, rounded foliage and elegant cream margins.

The rich, dark green leaves are beautifully framed with soft cream edging, creating a crisp contrast that brightens containers, rock gardens, fairy gardens, and the front of shaded borders. Like its famous parent, One Iota develops a dense, tidy mound with excellent substance, making it both durable and easy to grow.

Named after Betty’s beloved toy poodle, One Iota carries a heartfelt story along with its exceptional garden performance. Whether you’re collecting mouse-type hostas or simply love miniature varieties, this charming cultivar is sure to earn a special place in your collection.
