This award-winning hosta forms a symmetrical mound, making it ideal for small gardens and containers.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant in early spring or fall. Soak roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, form a small mound in the center, and drape roots over it. Set the crown just below soil level and backfill firmly. Space 18 to 30 inches apart depending on variety.
Location: Partial to full shade is ideal. Some varieties tolerate morning sun, but avoid hot afternoon exposure.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once established, hostas are moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering in dry spells.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas that encourage soft, slug-prone growth.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing leaves. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3–5 years in spring or fall to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Watch for slugs, snails, and foliar nematodes. Use barriers or organic deterrents and maintain good air circulation.
