Thanks, Christine. I'll have to see if they have more.
I think I lost the only Cat and Mouse that I had left and Shady Oaks just can't seem
to produce them.

Love the mice! I especially adore them when they're blooming. They're just so cute.

Check out Petiole Junction, my garden blog! (I'd love your comments.)

This is Frosted Mouse Ears....I bought him in May of 2010 from Hosta Direct.
Look at how much this guy has changed. Look at the color change...amazing what growing a Hosta in deep shade does to the colors.

Christine,

How's your Holy Mouse Ears doing? I've had mine for 3 years and it still isn't any bigger than the first year I got it! How long have you had yours?

Here are some of mine:

'Blue Mouse Ears'

'Cat and Mouse' - though it's sporting to solid blue. Only the little eye has colour.

'Country Mouse' - from a different family

'Frosted Mouse Ears'

A very tiny 'Holy Mouse Ears' (I think it's getting smaller).
