It is a hybrid of a sport of H. 'Blue Dimples' × H. 'Shining Tot', combining rugged blue genetics with a refined, compact habit. Unlike its flat-leafed siblings, 'Cupatini' features distinctly cupped, rounded leaves that create a sculptural tea-cup silhouette in the garden. Hardy across Canadian zones 3–9, it suits trough gardens, containers, and shaded borders from Quebec to British Columbia. Every division is verified True to Type at our Bécancour trial fields before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive Cupped Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded blue-green leaves cup upward to create a unique tea-cup appearance — a sculptural contrast among flat-leafed hostas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRare White Blooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e While most Tini cultivars produce purple flowers, 'Cupatini' bears elegant white blooms that pop against its cool foliage in mid-summer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiniature Scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e At just 28 cm tall, it is an elite choice for trough gardens and containers where its cupped leaf form can be appreciated up close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-End Pedigree:\u003c\/strong\u003e Descended from H.
