Warren I. Pollock
wrote comments about the many sports of H. 'Blue Mouse Ears' (which he termed
BME) in
The
Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 2). He stated, "...Hugo
Philips has found an interesting BME sport, 'Jumbo Mouse
Ears' registered last year.
It's larger growing than BME with leaves having an embroidered edge."
