This hosta is small in size but big on impact. It has blue-green to green intensely wavy leaves with wide creamy yellow margins. This perennial is typically grown solely for its lovely foliage. It does produce flower stems with lavender flowers that rise above the foliage in early to mid-summer. Add School Mouse Hosta to a full to part shade garden. It will survive in a wide range of USDA plant hardiness zones from 3 through 9.

Some gardeners remove the flower spikes from hostas. If you leave them alone, they’ll attract hummingbirds and bees. This miniature perennial has a spread of only 12 inches with a height of 8 inches. The 14-inch flower spikes will blossom above the foliage. School Mouse Hosta makes a pretty addition to the front of border gardens and at the base of shrubs. Its short, mounding habit lends it to the filler role in container gardens.

School Mouse Hosta Care

This adaptable perennial is easy to grow. It prefers moist soils. When grown in a shady location, School Mouse Hosta should only need watering during periods of drought. It prefers average to fertile soils. Add a balanced fertilizer in the spring and at the initial planting time.

Cut back the leaves in the fall after they have turned yellow and faded to tan. They will flop flat on the soil surface and turn to mush in late fall. You can wait until spring to rake them up if you run out of time in autumn.

School Mouse Hosta Spacing

Leave a minimum of 12 inches between individual species to allow for good air circulation and room for the roots.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
