Country Mouse is a really cute sport of Bill’s Dress Blue that was developed in Minnesota. It is a miniature hosta that gets no taller than 3 inches. It has a heart shaped blue/green leaf with a white edge. The 15 inch tall scapes of lavender flowers appear in mid-summer and are loved by hummingbirds. Great for rock gardens, containers and woodland paths. It is a good grower and the leaves are on the thick side so they aren’t bothered as much by slugs or sun scald.

This tiny cutie is perfect at the front of the border, rock garden or pot, at only 10 inches tall. The little 1.5 inch (4 cm) light yellow flowers have a golden throat and start extra early. A dormant, diploid and a rebloomer; and really an exceptional rebloomer too. Blooms into October in the north and will take light frosts. The foliage is very fine, small and grass like.

This cute double miniature is 19 inches (48 cm) tall and has a bloom that is 2.87 inches (7 cm). It is a late season bloomer that will rebloom; an evergreen, diploid with 35 buds on 4 branches that doubles 95% of the time. Coral pink with pale rouge eye above a yellow throat. I feel it looks kind of rusty orange sometimes. It won the Eugene S. Foster Award for outstanding late cultivars.

Neither words nor photos can describe the beauty of this little blue violet iris. He blooms early and can be 11 inches tall but is shorter for me on sandy soil. He is very ruffled with falls that are held wide. The blue violet color intensifies around the snow white beards, where a white eyelash pattern is also seen. A light spicy fragrance is a bonus.

Orange Flurry is a cute little plant, it is both miniature, with 2.5 inch flowers, and dwarf, at only 17 inches tall. It is ruffled and kind of an apricot color with hints of gold, a prominent gold mid rib and a gold throat. There is also a rusty eye band. This cutie blooms early mid-season but also reblooms and has a fragrance. The plant is listed as a single flower but often doubles or produces a poly for me.
