Park Seed Hosta Blue Mouse Ears

This Hosta thrives in part shade to full shade. While it can handle some dappled morning sun, it prefers protection from the harsh afternoon heat to keep its blue-green foliage from fading.

Yes, its compact, mounded habit makes it an excellent choice for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage holes and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix to keep the roots healthy.

This variety is quite hardy and performs well in zones 3 through 8. It is a perennial, meaning it will go dormant in the winter and return in the spring once the weather warms up.

Since this variety reaches a mature width of about 2 feet, you should space them at least 24 inches apart if you are planting them in a border. This allows enough room for the foliage to spread without overcrowding.

It is considered very low-maintenance. Once established, it primarily needs consistent moisture and well-drained soil to thrive, with very little pruning required beyond removing spent flower stalks.
