H. ‘Blue Mouse Ears Supreme’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Blue Mouse Ears' registered in 2007, 'Blue Mouse Ears Supreme' is a miniature cultivar distinguished by its variegated foliage. The leaves display medium green centers streaked with greenish-yellow, yellow, and creamy white, framed by white margins, a departure from the solid blue-green of its parent.

In the Garden

This compact, mound-forming plant reaches 6 inches (15.2 cm) in height and spreads to 14 inches (35.6 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its small size makes it well-suited for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders. Companion plants might include small ferns, heucheras, or miniature sedges that share similar moisture and light requirements.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
