Votaniki Hosta Mouse Ears Rhizomes

Because Blue Mouse Ears are a compact variety, you should space them about 10 to 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for the foliage to spread without overcrowding, which helps maintain good air circulation.

Yes, they are excellent for container gardening. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality, moisture-retentive potting mix to keep the roots happy.

They prefer partial to full shade, so a spot with gentle morning sun is usually fine. However, avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch their blue-green leaves and cause them to lose their vibrant color.

These hostas prefer consistently moist, well-drained soil. During dry spells, check the soil moisture regularly and water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage healthy and prevent wilting.

As perennials, they will go dormant in the winter. Once the foliage dies back after the first frost, you can trim the dead leaves to the ground to tidy up your garden bed, but the roots will remain safely underground until spring.
