It has been said that this Hosta deserves the prize for the perfectly named Hosta! Due to its size it is ideal for the rock garden, front of borders or containers as long as it is in light to full shade. In mid-summer the flower heads appear just above and sometimes nestled in the foliage and before they flower the buds swell like balloons before opening to bell-shaped pale lilac-mauve flowers. Its unusual attractive foliage is also delicately marked with lighter coloured veins radiating out from the central vein, and as the foliage is remarkably tough it is pretty resistant to slugs and rabbits. This Hosta has been described as a dainty charmer, and quite rightly as it forms a perfectly symmetrical mound of shell-shaped blue to grey-green almost rubbery leaves which really do resemble mouse ears. Grow in a sheltered shady spot in fertile soil that does not dry out. Will mound to about 18cm (7ins) high and sends up 30cm (12ins) tall, clusters of pale lavender flowers on upright stems during mid summer.

They are also good planted in pots and containers and can brighten up a shady area with their gold or silver variegated foliage. The foliage is most attractive and in the summer the plants are crowned with racemes of nodding trumpet-like white to purple flowers. They thrive in well-drained but moisture retentive soils and this should be enriched with leaf-mould, well rotted compost or leaf-mould. The variegated varieties keep their colouring better if planted in semi-shade. HOSTAS make ideal ground cover plants for sun or partial shade and once established can be left undisturbed for years.
