Hosta of the day, 'Church Mouse'
Description: Rounded, blue-green leaves are ringed with a coarsely ruffled edge that is just a shade or two lighter in colour. Upon maturity, the thick leaves become gathered and stitched around the inner margin.
Size: Very small - may exceed official "Mini" size.
Origin: 'Blue Mouse Ears' sport
Flowers: light lavender in July
Added to garden: Spring 2013
Notes: Not too much growth in its first two years, but after that it grew well and bloomed well. This is one of my favourites of the family.
