Originated by
Bill Silvers
of Silvers-Elbert Nursery in Georgia, this non-registered cultivar is
a sport of H. 'Mimosa
Mouse Ears'. It has green foliage with a
greenish-yellow marginal variegation. The leaves are
slightly cupped and nearly round in shape. In July, it
bears clusters of pale purple flowers but is sterile so
does not produce seeds.

 An article by
Warren I. Pollack in
The
Hosta Journal (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled
Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for
Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas
which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have
indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same
plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary
in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the
casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the
plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations and interpretations. |

 H.
'Frosted
Mouse Ears', H. 'Lucky
Mouse', H. 'Mighty
Mouse', H. 'Moonshine
Mouse Ears', H. 'Mouse
Madness' and
H. 'One
Iota'.
 H.
'Mighty Mouse' was included in two separate look-alike lists
in the article. One was a list of medial (center) variegated plants while the list above includes marginally variegated hostas. Since 'Mighty Mouse' is marginally variegated, the inclusion on this list appears to be correct. |
