Adorable Blue Mouse Ears Hosta

  • Decorative Blue-green Curling Foliage
  • Dwarf Growing Habit, Fits Anywhere
  • Impressively High Slug Resistance
  • Attracts Butterflies & Hummingbirds

Hostas are always welcomed additions to the home, but few exhibit the charm and coloring of Blue Mouse Ears Hosta (Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears'). This dwarf variety features thick, leathery leaves with the slightest, adorable curl. The petite leaves call to mind cute, little mouse ears (thus the name).

Blue mouse Ears' foliage is an endearing shade of blue/green that attracts the eye throughout the season and this petite hosta even provides the added benefit of mid-summer flowers.

Dainty bells of lavender decorate the stems that rise up to one foot above the foliage in July, a visual treat as well as a welcome boon for butterflies. If you're lucky, you might even see a curious hummingbird checking out the scene.

Your Blue Mouse Ears Hosta is a herbaceous perennial that will grow in a tidy compact habit. It's adaptive to a variety of soils and does best in full to part shade. Don't mistake its small size for vulnerability though as this little gem has a hardy, easy-care nature.

Plant one in your rock garden or scatter a few amid the nooks and crannies in your landscape that could still use a decorative touch. Or add it as an accent in your flower beds under the canopy of your backyard shade tree.

It's easy to see why Blue Mouse Ears Hosta once won "Hosta of the Year". It simply doesn't get more loveable than a hosta that reminds people of mouse ears!

Terrific color, a size that fits in almost anywhere and an adaptive nature makes this a must-have. Order yours today to finish your seasonal gardening projects!
