Product Description
Details

Hosta Blue Mouse Ears is one of the most easily identifiable cultivars. Blue leaves are thick and massive. Almost round, heart-shaped later. Probably comes from 'Blue Cadet'. About 10-12 years on the marked, but very popular and widely sold by many hosta sellers. Gave arise to a series of great miniature hostas. It has become an icon among cultivars. Ideal for rock gardens or as pot plant – bonsai plant. Special attention should be dedicated to the flowers. In comparison to the size of the plants they are massive and huge. They grow in dense racemes on about 15 cm high stems. Impressive hosta.

How to grow hostas

Save light shade to shade place in your garden to plant hostas. Filtered sun is best for the colorful varieties to reach their full color contrast. The green and blue hostas are the most shade-tolerant. Usually the yellow cultivars are the most sun-tolerant. The most dangerous is a direct sunshine, especially hot afternoon sun. This is the most critical where temperatures are high. Variegated varieties, especially those with a lot of white in the leaves, burn very easily. Blue color of leaves turns to green-blue or even fully green with too much direct sun. Plants with thick leaves are better suited for dry soil conditions than thin-leaved ones, but none is able to grow years-long in very dry soil. Plant hostas in moist, humus-rich soil.

Water your hostas well immediately as you plant them. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing season.

Hostas grow slowly and may take 2 to 5 years to reach their full size, longer for the largest species and cultivars. Reserve a plenty of space in your perennial bed for hostas. Most of them are medium sized or large perennials. Hostas are almost fully disease and pest resistant. The most dangerous injury can by caused by slugs, snails and deers.

Eine wunderbare kleine Hosta, sowohl im Topf als auch im Beet unter unserem Ginkgo und zum Glück schneckenresistent.
Die Pflanzen kommen stets gut verpackt und haben eine sehr gute Qualität.
