Gorgeous! I love this hosta. Of course I love just about everyone I have ever seen. This one, though, has stunning variegation. A fellow DG'er sent it to me this summer and it has done very well. No transplant shock that I could detect, either. Loves the location and climate even without ammending the soil much at all.
