Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears'

A globally celebrated masterpiece of miniature scale, Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' forms a perfectly uniform, symmetrical little mound of exceptionally thick, rubbery foliage. The charming, dusk-blue to gray-green leaves are uniquely rolled and curled at the base, creating a distinct cupped shape that wonderfully resembles tiny mouse ears. Because of its incredibly dense, heavy substance, this legendary award-winner stands as an ironclad shield against slug damage, retaining its exquisite powdery glaucous coating from early spring through the heat of autumn. Ideal for rock gardens, trough planters, and pristine border edges, it elevates small shady spaces in midsummer by hoisting perfectly proportioned, stout clusters of soft lavender-striped blossoms that hummingbirds adore.

Accentuate the compact, architectural roundness of this legendary miniature by arranging delicate, shade-loving ferns to float softly above its dense blue canopy. Frame the tidy perimeter with fine-textured, variegated sedges to mirror the cool tones of its glaucous wax, or plant it alongside dramatic astilbes to draw sharp, colorful contrasts against its tightly packed, sculpture-like foliage.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
