K. van Bourgondien Hosta Mouse Ears

This is a miniature variety that stays quite small, reaching a mature height of only 4 to 5 inches. Because of its compact size, it works perfectly as a border plant or in small containers where it won't be crowded out by larger perennials.

An 'eye' refers to the dormant growth point or bud on the hosta crown from which the leaves will emerge. Receiving a 1-2 eye root means you are getting a healthy, established starter plant ready to break dormancy and begin growing once planted.

Blue Mouse Ears is quite resilient and hardy in zones 3 through 9. It is well-adapted to cold climates and will go dormant in the winter, returning reliably each spring.
