Good, fast growing, edger hosta. I started with 3 (18 years ago), gradually divided them until I have about 25 plants now and they are all robust. Never had any of them revert.
'Mighty Mouse' and 'Frosted Mouse Ears' are extremely similar cultivars. However, some reputable websites (including Hallson Gardens and Plant Delights) claim that the light edges on 'Mighty Mouse' are a bit lighter than on 'Frosted Mouse Ears' when they are grown in the same lighting conditions.

Reverted to all green! I had this hosta for 15 years and it gradually reverted to all green within the 1st 5 years.
If you are looking for a good, fast growing, edger hosta, try Golden Tiara. I started with 3 (18 years ago), gradually divided them until I have about 25 plants now and they are all robust. I have never had any of them revert.
The leaves on this hosta go through a remarkable color change as they age. In the spring they will emerge with wide yellow margins and a dark green center -- but as the year progresses, the margins will become dark and the center will fade, making it look like an entirely different plant.
I live in Zone 8b and am 2 blocks from the ocean. I don't have shade where I would like to plant this, but the temperature rarely gets above 75 and the ground gets full of moisture each night with the dew reaching 2nd story windows. Is this temperate enough to plant these successfully?
Hottsy Tottsy is a nice, bright golden-yellow, medium-sized hosta. Color stays bright all summer. In my garden it is a moderate grower , Good substance. A nice contrast to other hostas growng nearby. Well worth a spot in a shady garden.
This cultivar can sometimes be found being sold under the name 'Blue Cherub' (not to be confused with 'Lakeside Blue Cherub', a separate and distinct cultivar).
'Azure Cherub' is the registered name. 'Blue Cherub' was the name it was being sold under in Europe prior to registration. That name was not allowed for use during registration and thus was renamed 'Azure Cherub'.
Hailed as the 1st yellow flowering Hosta. Foliage has wavy edges. Flowers have a nice, though light, fragrance. Grows to 16 inches tall. Sun to shade habitat. Adapts well to large containers.
By robertduval14 (Milford, New Hampshire - Zone 5b) on Apr 18, 2016 7:47 PM concerning plant: Hosta 'Bamse'
First discovered by the owners of Mason Hollow Nursery in Mason, New Hampshire. It was named for their late pet and well-known nursery mascot. 'Bamse' (pronouced Bum-sa) was a gentle giant of a dog and a common sight for anyone visiting the nursery while looking through the 600 or so varieties of Hosta they have on offer any given year. I have had the pleasure of living near this nursery for the last six years and getting to meet Bamse on many occasions. I will be adding this plant to my gardens this season (2016) in his honor.
Stellar plant. The cream margin against the blue leaf really pops! Mine is at the edge of a foundation bed on the east side of my house. It only gets a couple of hours of late am/early pm sun, but the color of it is so intense that it's the first plant you notice when you look at that bed.
Cabaret looks a lot like Hanky Panky to me, so I went to the Hosta Library and wasn't surprised to find it is a sport of Hanky Panky. I would like to see them growing next to each other for a comparison. My Hanky Panky was planted among larger Hostas so I dug it up, gave it to a friend, and planted a larger Hosta in the empty space. It was OK but not a favorite to me. Cabaret wouldn't tempt me. It is down from Striptease, which has many mutations.
