Pale lavender flowers will contrast perfectly. More photos in Hosta Library. Check out the pod colour. |

The petioles are long and the leaves do not cover them, showcasing the deep color. As the season progresses, some leaves turn all gold, some leaf centres turn gold and the edges deepen to a lustrous green. Irregular borders are unlike any typical variegation. Shiny, good substance, sun tolerance, good growth rate, flowers deeply coloured and fertile...it creates exciting babies! |

‘Funny Mouse’ |
(Fransen) Mini. Another new member comes to the “mouse” family from Marco Fransen. H. 'Funny Mouse' is the reverse variegation of H.

Great little plant with those perfectly proportioned lavender flowers.
