Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' (Plantain Lily)

Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' (Plantain Lily) Details

“Blue Mouse Ears” is a miniature variety of Hosta that features blue-green leaves with a powdery appearance. The foliage is complemented with lavender-coloured flowers through summer which are held neatly above the leaves. This herbaceous perennial typically grows to 20 cm tall and 40 cm wide, and in cooler climates it may die back during winter but will regrow again when conditions warm in spring. It grows best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not dry out. It is tolerant of moderate frost but will benefit from being protected while it is establishing. “Blue Mouse Ears” is commonly planted as a groundcover, included in borders, used in “tropical” and cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas. A mass planting affords an impressive display.
