Fun-sized and trouble-free, 'Blue Mouse Ears' miniature hosta (Hosta x) brings color to small spaces or rock gardens! Its low-growing, rounded foliage is aptly named and is positively adorable. Soft blue-green leaves compliment the tall lavender-colored flowers in the summer. Plus, its thick leaves resist damage from slugs, a common pest to hostas. Hostas love the shade; try planting this tidy plant underneath trees with other hostas, hardy ferns, or other shade-loving plants. Its adorably small mound-like habit creates an easy-to-manage sea of blue-green hues suitable for any mini space in the garden.
