Blue Mouse Ears Hosta
Hosta ‘Blue Mouse Ears’
1 quart pot
 
A charming and compact miniature hosta, Blue Mouse Ears is prized for its thick, rounded blue-green leaves that form a neat, dense mound. The small, cupped foliage has a slightly rubbery texture, giving it excellent substance and improved resistance to slug damage. Its tidy size makes it perfect for containers, edging, and small garden spaces where detail can be appreciated up close.
 
This variety performs best in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and benefits from protection from strong afternoon sun. It is especially well suited to shade gardens and container plantings, where its compact form remains attractive throughout the season. Low maintenance and reliable, it adds structure and texture to shaded areas.
