The Church Mouse Hosta is a delightful miniature variety that forms perfect, tight mounds of thick, heavily corrugated, blue-green leaves. Each leaf has distinctive mouse ear-shaped foliage with uniquely rippled edges, creating an enchanting display in any shade garden. In mid-summer, delicate lavender flowers emerge on short stalks, adding another layer of charm to this compact beauty.
Church Mouse Hosta is remarkably easy to maintain and highly slug-resistant. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, reduce watering frequency but maintain consistent moisture. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain appearance. In late fall, clean up dead foliage to prevent disease. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges.
Choose a location with partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Mix organic matter into the native soil for optimal growth. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil mixture and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Space multiple plants 16 inches apart for optimal growth.
