Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Funny Mouse' is a whimsical miniature Hosta that features small, curvy and ovate, blue-green leaves with white margins that age to a rich cream through summer. In early summer, lavender flowers rise above the foliage on taller scapes. Miniature Hosta are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border, in shady rock gardens, tucked into small spaces, and along pathways. Or mass plant as a small scale ground cover. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one! Attracts bees and hummingbirds. Slug and snail resistant. Less likely to be of interest to deer with its thick leaves.
