Hostas are shade perennials prized for their broad, deeply veined shiny leaves and lily like blossoms borne on erect stems in summer. 'Minibelle' is a diminutive version of the typical hosta. It has tight crowns of rather narrow, deep green 2-4 inch leaves. Small lavender bells are carried on 6-10 inch stems in summer. Shade, most soils, regular watering.
