Beilstein registered Hosta 'Baby Booties' in 2012. It grew from an open-pollinated seedling, with Mark Zilis introducing it to the trade. This miniature forms a fast-growing, mound-like clump just 18 cm (7\") high by 31 cm (12\") wide. Its medium green leaves have creamy white margins and a distinctively heart-shaped, broadly ovate form. It thrives from Zone 3 through 9 and is well suited to Canadian gardens across all regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green leaves edged with a creamy white margin 0.6–1.3 cm (0.25–0.5\") wide. Broadly ovate with a cordate base, relatively flat overall, dull on the upper surface and slightly shiny underneath. Each leaf measures approximately 5.1 cm (2\") long × 3.8 cm (1.5\") wide with 5 to 6 vein pairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat mound-like clump with a fast growth rate for its miniature scale.
