Well, mice seem to be popping up all over the place this year. My next three Hosta bare roots are called Blue Mouse Ears. They are a miniature Hosta so I plan to put all three into one pot. I can always divide them over the years.

Blue Mouse Ears is a miniature, clump forming, slow growing Hosta that produces a foliage mound growing to 6″ high and spreading to about a foot wide. It has thick, blue green leaves. It is most suitable for a position in dappled shade. There are, apparently, quite a few different hybrids in the category of mouse and I assume Farmer Gracy are selling their own version. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Strangely both Deb and I have purchased Hostas from Farmer Gracy this year but where I have gone for miniatures she has bought T Rex and Jurrasic Park, definitely not small.

Once again this bare root has many healthy roots and is already bursting with buds. They have been soaking overnight and I am now deciding on the most appropriate pot to put them in. They’re in a pot!! Not their permanent home but suitable for growing on. Fingers crossed.
