A sport of H. 'Blue Mouse Ears',
this cultivar was registered in 2004 by
Emile Deckert of Maryland. It is a
small size plant that bears dense clusters of pale purple
flowers in July.
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, "Besides
BME, there's 'Green Mouse Ears'. It's an excellent grower too and should reach
BME
size...In 2005,
Mark Zilis measured the
BME clump in the
Deckert's garden.
The largest leaf size was 3 1/2 inches long by 2 7/8 inches wide (10 sq. in.).
Mound height was 8 inches, width 22 inches. So don't expect your
BME and 'Green Mouse Ears' to remain mini size after about five-six years, given good growing
conditions."
