I don't have any true mini's, but I understand the 'Mouse" hosta such as 'Blue Mouse Ears" etc are all adorable.

The ones that have been really successful for me are Blue Mouse Ears, Baby Bunting, Lakeside Baby Face, Dixie Chick, Kifukurin Ko Mame, Green with Envy, Green Eyes and Hi Ho Silver. Some of these are classified as small rather than dwarf, or mini.

I like Hacksaw and Little Treasure. Also like Lemon Frost. I think they are all minis.

Here's 'Mighty Mouse,' 'Blue Mouse Ears,' and 'Cat's Eye' in my little cat and mouse garden. All are new for me this season (except 'Blue Mouse Ears,' which I have growing in several spots in my yard.) They're all growing well. 'Cat's Eye' is tiny and adorable.

I am making a slightly raised bed that is going to be the "cat and mouse" themed bed. It will have blue mouse ears, greeen ME, snow mouse, country mouse, frosted ME,royal ME, mighty mouse, holy ME, kitty cat, red kitty, and cats eyes. If I can find any other ones on the small side with the cat and mouse theme I will add them. i am also looking for the appropriate garden decorations for this bed.

I also am in the process of making a mini raised bed that will have dwarf conifers, a few hostas and sedums that will be fairy themed (for the grandkids and me to play with . I am finding all sorts of cool items to put in it.

There is a picture thread on the Cubits site which is dedicated to minis - http://cubits.org/Hostas/thread/view/19187/
My own photos start about 1/3 of the way down the thread but there are others as well. Go have a look. You MAY have to sign in, but there is no membership fee.
