Plant Information
Plant Care
School Mouse Hosta is remarkably easy to maintain and highly resistant to various garden challenges. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, it requires moderate watering and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Remove any yellowed or damaged foliage to maintain appearance. This variety shows good slug resistance and maintains its compact shape without much intervention.
Planting Instructions
Plant School Mouse Hosta in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants 12-15 inches apart to allow for mature spread. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
These hostas work beautifully in shade gardens, woodland settings, container gardens, or as border plants. Their compact size makes them perfect for small spaces and rock gardens. The lavender flowers that appear in mid-summer attract pollinators and add vertical interest to the garden.
