    • I have two, one in its second season, the other in its third. Both are probably two of the most vigorous Hosta I've grown so far.

    • Planted this hosta last spring after seeing it in Laura’s garden from Garden Answer. What can I say, I absolutely love it! Truly an easy plant to grow. I highly recommend it.

    • Purchased this in the spring. it is planted in sandy soil with compost added, watering can be a challenge. If it dries out it recovers quickly. Very happy with it, love the plant and love the name.
