Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This hosta has thick creamy white to yellow leaves with uneven blue-green margins. The purple flowers appear on short scapes in July. Another interesting plant in the unique 'Blue Mouse Ears' family, this is a sport of Hosta 'Royal Mouse Ears'. Miniature hostas are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border or along pathways. Dangerous for collectors who will want more than just one!

This beautiful sport of 'Blue Mouse Ears' has the same rounded leaf shape as its parent but features creamy white variegated leaf centers. Slow growing but worth the wait, this one should reach about 6" tall and 16" wide. Like all minis, grow this one in a rock garden or container so it doesn't get lost among larger plants. Really prefers some morning sun for good growth.
