Blue minis, not Blue Mouse Ears?

4 years ago

Looking at my small collection of minis, I realize I have a lot of variegated or golds.

Some of my favorite mini golds are ***Dragon Tails*** and Munchkin Fire. Munchkin Fire I just got last year: but somehow I seem to have 2 of them. I went through my past purchase lists and can’t find any other pointy-leaved gold it could be instead.

I’d like to put in one or two solid blue minis but long leaves – or even better, WAVY long leaves - would be great to have.

Backdrop is Japanese Forest grass, so I think the small pointy blue (s) would look great there.

I will be going nursery shopping in a week to a few weeks. Have to plan the routes. Thanks for your suggestions.

What came to mind right off the bat is 'Popo' which is small and blue, but the leaves are not narrow like 'Curly Fries', here's a shot of one of mine:

Church Mouse is a ruffled version of Blue Mouse Ears. Not long, but it is wavy. Baby Bunting and Little Ralph are heart shaped . If you don't mind a narrow white edge, you could try Kikufurin No Mame. I probably butchered the spelling. It's tiny with long rippled leaves.

Not a mini but a small would be Rhythm & Blues. It has narrow, wavy leaves.

I think I've figured out how to do this.

Here are a couple small blue suggestions. The first picture has Slim and Trim and Gemstone in the front. If I remember right I bought them from Sebright Nurseries in Oregon.

The Blue center front is Baby Blue Eyes. It has less sun and light than the two above but all three have grown really well.

Surfer Girl would be perfect! I don’t think I have any photos. I will check and add a photo tomorrow. BTW, it’s a great grower! Oops I lied, found one!

Love Surfer Girl! I'm going to have to add that to my wish list. I love minis. I have a cute blue one called Bill's Dress Blue. Very mini. Over-wintered in a raised veggie bed and came back happy.
