We have had a real drout this year and all my other varieties of hostas look real bad, and this one has taken the heat like no other hosta I have seen. No burnt leaves, and it blooms in Aug with fragrance that rivals any rose! One of my fav plants.

Photos don't do justice to the lovely apple green color of this plants leaves. Easy to grow, and a good selection for a medium to large plant.
