| Info | PP30,832. Delivers what other miniature hostas promised-with truly blue leaves. Compared to the ever popular 'Blue Mouse Ears', 'Blue Elf' has a similar short height but with larger leaves (about 2.5-3" across) and true powdery blue leaves, about the same color as 'Fragrant Blue'. Perfectly proportionate to the size of the plant, shorter flower spikes yield lavender flowers in in midsummer. 'Blue Elf' is the perfect size for fairy gardens or troughs! |
