Plant Care

Blue Mouse Ears Hosta is exceptionally easy to maintain and highly slug-resistant due to its thick leaves. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, it needs moderate watering. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain appearance. In late fall, cut foliage back to ground level. Apply a layer of compost around the plant each spring, followed by a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall in a location with partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Fill around the roots with soil and water thoroughly. Space plants 12-16 inches apart to allow for mature spread. Add a layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
