Hosta 'Mouse Trap', from the late Shady Oaks Nursery, was discovered by plantsman Hans Hansen just prior to his move to Michigan. Hosta 'Mouse Trap' is one of several sports of the popular Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' that has performed well in our trials since 2011. The miniature clumps reach 6" tall x 1' wide, composed of thick blue-green leaves, each adorned with a wide central creamy yellow blotch.
