'Country Mouse' is one of my favourite mini hostas. I keep it in a container with member of the "Mouse Ears" family, but it comes from a different family. It's a sport from 'Bill Dress's Blue'. It has tiny heart-shaped, blue-green leaves are surrounded by a pure white margin, forming a nearly flat and loose clump. I've had it fall apart when moving it which I used to do twice a year - to my veggie garden in autumn and to the container for the season. Now I grow the tiny hostas in little pots and move the pots.

This particular plant dates from 2013 and is a replacement for one I lost during winter 2012-13 when I put the entire container in my enclosed porch and lost 50% of the plants. It holds up quite well during the season. Please feel free to share you pictures of this hosta.

I really like your Country Mouse. I will be keeping an eye out for it when I'm shopping.

I got the replacement plant from Shades of Green here in Ontario. They do mail orders. That was two years ago, but they may still have it.
