Hosta (Mini) ‘Sun Mouse’
Hosta 'Sun Mouse' is a twin to 'Blue Mouse Ears' except that it is brilliant yellow.
This miniature Hosta hybridized by Tony Avent has a similar leaf shape and performance to ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ but with brilliant yellow leaves that hold their colour well into the summer. Lavender flowers open in summer from balloon-like buds. 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.
