Details
Hosta ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ is a miniature hosta with small rounded blue-green leaves that are quite chunky in texture, and they form a neat and compact clump, which in midsummer is topped with sprays of lavender bell-shaped flowers. It's a little gem, and is ideal for containers, shadier rockeries, or can be used to line the edges of a woodland path.

Plant Care
Plug plants are small, young plants grown in cell trays. Even the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are still small plants from cell trays and not established plants. Plug plants can be great value compared to buying more established plants however they may need some extra care to get them started.
Caring for Plug Plants
We recommend starting plug plants in a small pot and not planting directly into open ground or large pots/planters. You will want a plant pot roughly the size of a tea mug, commonly referred to as 7cm or 9cm pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.
Reduced PlasticsIn order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
