The Book of Little Hostas: 200 Small, Very Small, and Mini Varieties

A great reference for little Hosta . Lots of pictures. I had my book signed by the authors- Kathy Guest and Mike Shadrack since they live in my town. The authors are wonderful people who love to talk with other gardeners. And their home property, Smug Creek is surrounded by hundreds of Hosta that definitely shows their love of these wonderful "Friendship" plants (as Mike calls them because they are meant to be divided and shared with friends)

Love this Hosta book!

Clear pictures and this book has WONDERFUL Descriptions and full help guides. Page after page Not just about Mini's I have lots of Hosta books These help guides the authors write are A must have. To grow better and MORE importantly Help make your expensive collection LAST Hosta La Vista.

I love this book! The pictures are wonderful and there is so much information given about little hostas. I’m so glad I purchased it!

This is a great book to look at pictures of little hostas. It also gives good information on growing and caring for them in different planting settings. If you're just getting started with hostas or you are a seasoned gardener, this is a fun book to have around.

It is very informative about the culture of hostas in general, and the "littles" specifically. I am a big fan of mini hostas, and this book alerted me to some of their special needs. A great little book!

I am in the process of redoing by whole backyard which has areas of strong shade. It is also a rather small space, so this reference is just what I needed for my yard transformation.

This book is an invaluable guide and window into the magic world of small and miniature hostas. Kathy Guest Shadrach knows her subject and provides helpful information for the selection, care and use of these amazingly beautiful and quite carefree jewels for the shade garden, deck and patio.

lots of info and ideas for mini hostas

Es handelt sich um ein umfangreiches und relativ preiswertes Buch, das Liebhabern von Mini-Hostas empfohlen werden kann. Auch ohne englische Sprachkenntnisse können Blattfarben und -formen den zahlreichen ausgezeichneten Fotos sowie die Pflanzen- und Blattgrößen den Beschreibungen, die auch die metrischen Maße enthalten, entnommen werden. Das Buch vermittelt Anregungen zu Bepflanzungen von schattigen und halbschattigen Gartenbereichen, von Kübeln, Töpfen und Trögen, teilweise in Kombination mit passenden Pflanzpartnern. - Nur dem Leser dieses Buches erschließt sich die fast unbegrenzte Anzahl von Mini-Hostasorten und -varietäten, von denen die meisten nur nach langwieriger Suche im Handel erhältlich sein dürften.

Enjoyable, informative, easy read. Excellent book for beginners or experts alike. Shall be using this book as a hosta bible for the foreseeable future.

Ein sehr schönes Buch über kleine Hostas, mit vielen Bildern die einem neue Ideen zeigen wie man die kleinen Schätze richtig in Szene setzt. Das es in englischer Sprache ist macht dabei überhaupt nix, selbst mit meinen perfektem Englisch läßt es sich gut lesen.

Small hostas are becoming increasingly popular if you don't have enough room for the big ones any more. Pop them in an old sink and create your own mini garden of hostas. This is the only book i have seen which concentrates on the smaller varieties and is excellent!
