Ruffled Mouse Ears is a small hosta with ruffled, blue-green leaves. Their cool colour brings a calm note to a shady corner, and the wavy edges add texture up close.
Grow it where the leaves can be seen from close by: in a pot by the door, between stones in a rock garden, or at the front of a shady border. Other small varieties are gathered in our miniature and small hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Ruffled Mouse Ears is a small hosta. Allow about 30 cm between plants, or keep one in a pot.
They are blue-green and ruffled, with the blue tone strongest in shade.
Yes, its small size suits pots and rock gardens. Use a pot with drainage holes and water whenever the compost begins to dry.
Varieties
The best blue hostas range from the miniature Blue Mouse Ears to giants such as Big Daddy and Blue Angel. Their blue comes from a waxy coating that is thickest in spring and wears off in strong sun, heat and heavy rain, so plant them in shade or morning sun and water gently at the base. Varieties with a thick wax coat keep their colour longest.

Hostas make an excellent ground cover for shade: planted closely, their leaves meet and suppress weeds from late spring until autumn. Choose medium-sized, vigorous varieties, plant them a little closer than in a border, mulch the gaps until the leaves close, and expect full cover after about three seasons.

Design & companions
Hostas and ferns are a natural pair: both like moist, humus-rich soil in partial or full shade, and the fine, divided fronds of a fern make the broad hosta leaf stand out. Choose ferns that suit your moisture, give each plant its full spacing and keep fast spreaders such as ostrich fern away from small hostas.
