Info | Round, incredibly thick leaves emerge in the spring a soft, sunny-yellow. Gradually, the leaves darken to a mellow, light green, but the new leaves continue to emerge yellow. Hosta 'Solar Mouse' may grow a bit slower than other mice, but will form a tight, perfect mound about 5" tall and 12" across that blooms in mid summer with short scapes of cute lavender flowers. |
