Small one: Blue Ice Not the best photo, but I was showing my granddaughters how the glaucous bloom changed the color of the hosta and we all took turns rubbing the leaves.

Thanks for your input. I think I'll give Blue Ice a try. Wonder what happened to my reply from yesterday?

So how does 'Blue Ice' compare to 'Blue Mouse Ears'? Is it bluer, faster growing, smaller?

I have them both, and Blue Ice is much bluer and smaller, and slower. But worth it. Blue Mouse Ears has those wonderful thick leaves and such a cute name! They are very different in appearance and you should have them both.

Agree with Babka you should have both. Both very small but so different looking.

In my pots, Blue Mouse Ears gets about 20"+wide and 7-9" tall, so it is "small", but about double the size of Blue Ice.

Another idea for a small blue is 'Baby Blue Eyes'.

One thing I like about this hosta is the new growth is a lovely blue even in the late summer. Where as many other blues have had the blue wax melted off due to the heat.

Stays a small size too!
