Hosta 'Twice as Mice' is a 2022 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of our 2007 seedling, derived from a cross that involves, Hosta 'Blue Hawaii', 'Blue Mouse Ears', 'Swoosh', 'Invincible', 'Gemstone', Hosta sieboldiana and Hosta kikutii. Hosta 'Twice as Mice' is a vigorous grower forming a 5" tall x 18" wide clump of thick glaucous blue leaves, bordered with a wide cream edge. Starting for us in mid-June, the clumps are topped with 15" tall spike of lavender flowers that are perfectly proportioned for the clump. For us, it grows like a vigorous Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' with a dramatic edge.
