Hosta Quarter Back Light Shade When the plants go dormantHosta 'Quarter Back' is another 2020 Plant Delights JLBG introduction from a cross of Hosta 'Cracker Crumbs' and 'Blue Mouse Ears', that forms a miniature clump with quarter sized dark green leaves on a plant that never exceeds 1" tall x 6" wide. Despite the tiny size, it has good vigor for a miniature hosta, a perfect trough garden specimen.
