Can you say adorable?? Cutest little mini with blue, curly edged leaves, forming minute mounds about 8” tall and 14” wide topped with lavender flowers in summer. This sport of ‘Mouse Ears’ has a subtle lighter edge on each leaf. Try a small specimen in a pot or a grouping in the garden!
Very ruffled & thick, nearly round rich blue-green leaves; Vigorous & pest resistant. Bell shaped rich violet striped lavender flowers in mid summer. Plant in afternoon shade, or light shade all day. Dwarf hosta.
'Church Mouse' is like a frazzled version of 'Blue Mouse Ears'. It is a unique miniature with wavy blue-green leaves. It has attractive purple flowers. Miniature hostas are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border or along pathways. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one!
