Confusion reigns as this little plant was named Chickadee when I bought it but when it was registered – Chickadee was already taken. Plan B is the new name: Dixie Chickadee which is a reference to its parent, Hosta ‘Dixie Chick’. I believe I purchased this plant from Naylor Creek Nursery in 2007. As it’s shown here it has been moved from the Berry Garden where it was barely seen to the new mini garden. I divided it when I moved it so it’s set back a bit but in the end, two plants are better than one when you’ve got voles galore. Seeing as a full grown plant will reach only about eight inches, I think I could lose it all in one chomp!
