School Mouse Hosta Hosta 'School Mouse' Height: 8inSpread: 12inZone: 3-9Exposure: Part shade to full shadeBloom Time/Color: July-August; lavenderUses: Shade gardens, massing, speci men, bordersMaintenance: Medium Hostas continue to be the mainstays of the shade garden and the backdrops for other smaller perennials. If given consistent even moisture, hostas can be planted in most soils in shade and will require little care thereafter. Hostas will grow into large clumps and can be easily divided and moved; plant in mass or borders for a bold effect. Aside from the varying color schemes of hosta leaves, most are green and will produce slender stalks of bell-shaped flowers by mid-summer. Both the leaves and flowers make decent cut flowers and can be used in mixed arrangements. Flowers also attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. 'School Mouse' hosta has thick, coarsely wavy leaves that have blue-green to green centers and creamy yellow margins that holds its color fairly consistently throughout the season. **Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens** Show more
