Hosta 'School Mouse'

The delightful Hosta 'School Mouse' brings captivating texture and bright, small-scale punctuation to shaded gardens as a prized addition to the beloved "mouse ears" series. This miniature perennial forms a perfectly compact, low-growing mound of incredibly thick, rubbery foliage that boasts exceptional, built-in slug resistance. The heavily ruffled and wavy leaves feature smooth, rich blue-green centers framed by a broad, highly corrugated border of creamy chartreuse-yellow that maintains its brilliant color depth all season long. In early summer, short and sturdy 14-inch scapes elevate clusters of bell-shaped lavender flowers neatly above the dense, architectural mound, drawing native pollinators and hummingbirds to intimate garden spaces.

Incorporate this unique selection into your shaded borders or woodland features by pairing it with delicate, shade-loving ferns, fine-textured variegated sedges, or the rich crimson plumes of dramatic astilbes to elevate the underlying textures of your garden layout.

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
