Hosta 'Magical Mouse Ears'

[Mini] Watch out...this 'Blue Mouse Ears' sport will cast a spell on you! Hugo found this sport in Marco's Hosta Paradise nursery, and named it 'Magical Mouse Ears'. The thick, round leaves emerge a spectacular, creamy, pale yellow, then gradually shift to grey-green by mid summer. There have been a couple similar sports named, but they turned out to be weak growers and impossible to keep alive. Not so, with this one! Hosta 'Magical Mouse Ears' Magical Mouse Ears turns color quick enough to give the plant good vigor, and it will grow into a unique, tight mound about 6" tall and 14" across. Short, stout scapes of cute, lavender flowers bloom in mid summer. Prepare to be astonished, as this mouse changes before your eyes! A must for your mouse collection.
