In spring the blue-green leaves are trimmed in creamy yellow; by summer the centers turn greener and the edges lighten to creamy white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays tiny, about 5 inches tall and 13 inches wide. In early to midsummer, pale lavender flowers with darker purple stripes crowd together on short scapes that suit the plant's size. It belongs in a trough, a small container, a fairy garden, or right at the front of a shaded bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall, thick, lance-shaped leaves with strongly rippled, wavy edges, blue-green in the center with creamy yellow margins in spring that turn creamy white by summer as the centers become greener. Leaves radiate outward in a low, ruffled rosette. The plant forms a miniature mound about 5 inches tall and 13 inches wide. In early to midsummer, short scapes about 7 inches tall carry tightly packed pale lavender bell flowers striped with deeper purple. At peak the plant looks like a small ruffled skirt of two-tone leaves topped with a cluster of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHostas want shade and steady moisture, the opposite of lavender's hot, dry bed, so give this one a spot under trees or along the north side of the house with ferns and astilbe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part to full shade in rich, well-drained soil kept evenly moist.
