  • Posted by Amazindirt (mid-TN - Zone 7a) on May 21, 2017 5:11 AM concerning plant:
    '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.
