Mini Hosta Blue Mouse Ears
Mini Hosta Blue Mouse Ears
Charming hosta features round, blue-green leaves and grows just 4-5" tall. Mini Hosta Blue Mouse Ears is an award-winning hosta that's ideal for container plantings and edging shaded walkways and gardens. Its lavender flowers open above the foliage in the summer. Hosta lilies, sometimes called "Plantain" or "Heart Lilies," are some of the best perennials for shade and woodland gardens. They're unequaled for their foliage and fragrant, bell-shaped flowers. They take about one year to establish themselves, but do not have to be dug or divided.

End of Season, roots looked good
I ordered from the end of the season sale and was pleased to quickly healthy looking one eye corms. Of course they aren't leafed out yet.
hopeful for the 3
Bought 2 sets so far 3 haven t servived.The other 3 seem to be doing okay. They look like lillies when they first come up. That's the stage now. No leaves growing out yet.
Less than half came up
I bought 8 orders of this which should result in 24 plants. I got 24 bareroots but only 9 came out, 1 more is trying! I had ordered other plants from this website and they all have been ok!
lovely and different
I love hostas and these have quickly become my favorite in the garden. They did ok the first year but did very well in the garden this year. They are darker and more compact than other hostas and their leaves are a little thicker which gives them unique appearance in the bed. I am ordering a few more for next year. They do like shade and moist soil.
Wonderful minies
Verified Buyer
My first years with mouse ears I had them in a pot but they did not do well. I think they needed a bit more shade. The second year I planted then in a hosta bed in filtered shade under a tree. And their are wonderful this year.They have even bloomed!,
Hope to do another bowl
