Hosta (Mini) ‘Mighty Mouse’

Hosta 'Mighty Mouse is a small but mighty sport of 'Blue Mouse Ears' with lavender flowers and variegated foliage.

‘Mighty Mouse’ is a small but mighty Hosta. It is a variegated sport of the award-winning ‘Blue Mouse Ears’. In spring, the rounded leaves are blue-green with a creamy yellow margin. By summer, the leaves transition to grey-green with a creamy white margin. Lavender flowers from balloon-like buds open on perfectly proportioned scapes in early summer. Miniature Hosta are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border, in shady rock gardens, tucked into small spaces, and along pathways. Or mass plant as a small scale ground cover. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one! Attracts bees and hummingbirds. Slug and snail resistant. Less likely to be of interest to deer with its thick leaves.
