Jackson & Perkins Hosta Blue Mouse Ears
Best miniature perennial for adding texture to small shaded garden spaces.
This dwarf perennial is the ultimate problem-solver for cramped, shady corners that need a touch of texture. While its slow, compact growth means you won't get instant coverage, the thick, pest-resistant foliage ensures you spend more time enjoying the garden and less time fighting off slugs.
