Hosta Paradise puppet will form a miniature mound of 2"-4" in height with a spread of up to 8" at maturity.  Hosta venusta Paradise Puppet is a splendid, compact variety, with small, tapering green leaves. Small wavy somewhat twisted green leaves, easy growing, venusta hybrid. An excellent ground-cover variety. It rapidly expands to make a small spreading clump, if left untouched. It collected an AGM award from the RHS. By July it is topped wih many lavender flowers held on very short 6" scapes above the foliage. Thought to be fairly slug resistant and will grow in some sun or shade
