Cute, cute, cute! This distinctive small hosta is the toast of hosta collectors everywhere. Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' is a dwarf, thick-leaved mutation of Hosta 'Blue Cadet' that makes a tight 1' wide mound of small, round, blue-green leaves in a perfectly symmetrical clump. In early summer, short spikes of lavender flowers emerge above the foliage...a hummingbird favorite. This is a unique and fun hosta to add to any woodland garden.
