I picked up my Night Before Christmas at an end-of-the-year sale at a drug store! It had two pitiful leaves, but I liked the name, and I thought I could remember it - unlike most of my hostas. It is now in its second year and is beautiful - one of my favorites for its striking, bright variegation - living happily next to two burning bushes and assorted hostas, in morning sun and then filtered sun/shade.

Hostas have pretty much broken my heart because they won't grow in my garden. However, Night Before Christmas is one that has been in my garden for 3 years. Not growing by leaps ands bounds, but slowly and surely.

I have this hosta growing in a pot on my back porch and even when I forget to water the poor thing, it still looks good. The variegation is lovely. I think for it to grow well, I'm going to have to put it in the ground, though.
