It was cold ! 3 C this morning but that didn't stop a small group of volunteers to check out Het Gazebo and do what they could to keep it looking so attractive ! Thank you !

Wow the hostas look amazing !

  • Zeer stevig klein rond blauw groen blad, anders dan alle andere Hosta's, sport van 'Blue Cadet'.


    Hosta Blue Mouse Ears heeft blauwe bladeren en is een small Hosta met lila bloemen en groeit in zon en schaduw . De hoogte is 15 tot 20 cm en de groei is gemiddeld.

    • Adorable miniature hosta
    • Thick (almost rubbery), round, blue-green to grey-green leaves
    • Forms a perfectly symmetrical mound; moderate growth rate
    • Flower buds are held horizontally and swell like balloons before opening
    • Clusters of lavender, bell-shaped flowers are produced on proportionally short 12" scapes in midsummer
    • Perfect for the collector, rock gardens, and containers
    • Prefers light to full shade

    Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today's gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
