Just thought I'd share a pic of my Blue Mouse Ears. Got these last fall, they are still very tiny~

Very cute! I got a second one last year at the end of summer, came with a collection of mice, and was quite small then. This year it's nearly as big as the one I bought as a mature division, again last year but at the beginning of summer. It seems to be a fast grower for me.

Those little guys are as cute as... as... as a mouse's ear. I actually prefer them tiny. Thanks for posting.

Pics of 'Blue Mouse Ears'

Here's a few pics of my BME (I got it in 2005.) Last year it came up with about 14 eyes, this year I tried to count them and there are 30+ eyes so far!! Not sure if they are all "active eyes" or if some of them are dormant? but that's how many I counted today... I wish I would have taken a picture of the eyes just coming up... the crown of BME is SOOOO tight, the eyes are just crammed together. Buff Blue Mouse Ears Here is BME in 2005, before I got her planted... BME in mid-May 2006... Later in the 2006 season, with scapes... Flowers just beginning to open... Can you tell it's one of my favorites?? I took lots of pictures of it last year...

Questions on blue mouse ears and mighty mouse
Q
Comments (4)
Thanks guys! I'm relieved to hear that BME grows faster than I thought and a bit dismayed that Mighty grows so slow. These two little guys were expensive and are so tiny. We are planning on moving from UT to Florida in two years and if these guys grow that slow I might just take them with me as I've really been wanting these two for a long time and I would hate to start from scratch. I plan on leaving them in the ground even though we do not have any squirrels in our yard. Only problem we have are racoons and they don't seem to bother our plants (just our ducks). Is there a particular reason why you would need to pot them up? I don't mind having it in the ground due to it's size as I can just plant some annuals around it. They are both planted in front of my hydrangeas and they tend to steal the show anyways.

My mothers is similar as well but my centers don't get too much darker than this and hers gets to the point where you can easily miss the the variegation. I managed to successfully divide these last summer and mother and sport are both doing well. =)

Blue minis, not Blue Mouse Ears?
Q
Comments (15)
I think I've figured out how to do this. Here are a couple small blue suggestions. The first picture has Slim and Trim and Gemstone in the front. If I remember right I bought them from Sebright Nurseries in Oregon. The Blue center front is Baby Blue Eyes. It has less sun and light than the two above but all three have grown really well.

I bought one last year and it is also doing very well. It has increased and had lots of flowers. It's a keeper. Thanks to both for posting the photos.

All the mini's I have were sprayed by the lawn guy and are making a very slow recovery. The Japanese painted ferns in the same bed suffered too. They are planted beside a narrow grass walk way between two hosta beds so caught the drift of the spray.

My Hubby likes his grass but next year that area of grass will be removed and stepping stones will go in there to eliminate the chance of that ever happening again.
