There are miniature versions (School Mouse, Church Mouse, Sun Mouse) which make great additions to container gardens and small spaces. There are medium-sized plants (Popcorn, <a href="https://shop.sheridannurseries.com/products/shadowland-wheee-hosta-pw-1-pw-cont">Wheee!</a>, Hudson&#8217;s Bay, <a href="https://shop.sheridannurseries.com/products/paradigm-hosta-1-cg">Paradigm</a>) if you are looking to fill an area under a shade tree or back corner of your yard.
