Thanks to their lack of direct sunlight, north-facing gardens can sometimes be challenging to plant. That's why we are so thrilled to offer a new shade lover with real eye appeal. Funny Mouse is a delightful mini hosta featuring small, rounded, blue-green leaves with white margins that age to rich cream during the warm summer months. It makes the perfect choice for mixed containers, lined up along dappled borders or tucked into a perennial rock garden. Customers also love these slug- and snail-resistant mini hosta for use in whimsical fairy gardens. In early summer, taller scapes of lavender flowers appear, adding to Funny Mouse's charm.
