Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' (Ships in Spring)

Plantain Lily

Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' is a compact, shade-loving perennial with thick, rounded, blue-green leaves that resemble tiny mouse ears. This award-winning hosta forms a symmetrical mound, making it ideal for small gardens and containers. In midsummer, rich violet, bell-shaped flowers with lavender stripes rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators. Thriving in part shade to full shade, it tolerates dry conditions once established.

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.
