Blue Mouse Ears Hosta

About this plant

Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' is a beloved miniature perennial renowned for its incredibly thick, intensely corrugated, and almost perfectly round blue-green leaves. Its compact, mounding habit makes it an ideal choice for the front of a border, rock gardens, or container plantings, adding a delightful, unique texture to any shaded space. In early to mid-summer, this petite plant sends up short scapes adorned with lavender, bell-shaped flowers, providing a delicate contrast to its robust foliage. A sport of 'Blue Cadet', it inherited its exceptional vigor and charming characteristics, quickly becoming a favorite among hosta enthusiasts and collectors alike. Easy to grow and maintain, 'Blue Mouse Ears' thrives in consistent moisture and provides year-round interest in milder climates, or reliable seasonal charm in colder regions. Its small stature and unique appeal make it a perfect choice for those seeking a distinctive and low-maintenance plant.

Care & maintenance

Hostas prefer consistent moisture and well-drained, organically rich soil. Protect from slugs and snails. Divide in spring or fall as needed to maintain vigor. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring.
