Miniature or Dwarf? Who Decides?
• Grower / Hybridizer• Look at the tag-if it says dwarf-go with it• Don’t just look at the plant growth• Look at Species Name
• “nanus” “nana”= dwarf• “minima”=smaller• “minor” or “minus”= smaller• “minutus”= very small
• Cultivar Name – May give you a clue• For example: Tiny Tim, Lilliput, Baby Doll

Gardening with Mini Hostas
• The AHS does not allow a hosta to be considered a mini hosta unless the leaf size is smaller than 6 square inches.
• This means that hostas that are commonly regarded as minis by clump size are disqualified by leaf size.
• Mini hostas do well in pots or containers. (They still need to be overwintered like any hosta.)

Some Petite Design Ideas
Note from Gretchen:
Looking at a petite design . .
You should not be able to tell it is petite. It should be in such proportion that it looks like a normal design.
![Page 24: Planning & Planting for Petite Standard Flower Show.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a54d1550346cb358b5d38/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Does this fit the criteria?
It appears the red flower is not petite by just looking at it. This probably would depend on the show schedule as to the type of design.
![Page 25: Planning & Planting for Petite Standard Flower Show.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a54d1550346cb358b5d38/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Background for a petite design will vary according to schedule 6 x 6 inch 8 x 8 inch 10 x 10 inch
Design must stay within those boundaries and look like a “regular design.
![Page 26: Planning & Planting for Petite Standard Flower Show.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a54d1550346cb358b5d38/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Planning & Planting for Petite Standard Flower Show.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a54d1550346cb358b5d38/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
According to Gretchen:
If this design is using a normal size teacup, this would NOT be considered a petite design.
![Page 28: Planning & Planting for Petite Standard Flower Show.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a54d1550346cb358b5d38/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
If this is a very small demitasse cup and the flowers are petite varieties, this would work.
This one flowers look petite but are they? It is hard to tell if the cup is a normal one or not.

Designs From Past Flower Show
Miniature Designs, but not necessarily Petite Varieties

Lots to Think About
• Consider your plant material choices• Make sure you purchase petite / dwarf varieties• Start looking around now for vessels you might
want to try with a petite design• All designs are either Small or Miniature and the
Horticulture is miniature, dwarf or naturally small in growth.
