Mouseketeer' Hosta

(Hosta) Hosta 'Mouseketeer' is a charming miniature hosta that brings big personality to small garden spaces. A sport of the beloved 'Blue Mouse Ears,' this variety forms a compact, tidy mound of thick, heart-shaped leaves that display a striking contrast of creamy centers wth green flecks with blue-green margins. A perfect size and color that brightens shady borders, containers, and rock gardens.
Reaching only 9 inches tall and 16 to 18 inches wide, 'Mouseketeer' is perfect for edging pathways or tucking into tight spaces where larger hostas won't fit. In early to midsummer, short scapes rise above the foliage to display clusters of lavender, bell-shaped blooms that attract hummingbirds and add a touch of delicacy to its dense form.
This hardy perennial thrives in part to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It shows slug-resistance thanks to its thick leaves and provides excellent texture contrast in mixed plantings. Hardy in zones 3 to 9, Hosta 'Mouseketeer' is a low-maintenance gem that combines durability, elegance, and miniature charm perfect for collectors and shade garden enthusiasts alike.
