This plant is extremely easy to divide, even during the middle of the growing season here in Albany, OR (August). Small clumps, when broken off of the main plant, root easily in water. A very vigorous plant with day lily-like flowers that are a very pale lavender-white and 3 inches in diameter! My plant is growing well in a pot in bright shade on the east side of the house.

Finally it has rewarded me with a bloom. I moved it this year to a sunnier location and it's much happier though it did suffer some early season sunburn. I've had it since spring 2004.

We've grown this plant for several years and although we have alot of favorites, 'Stained Glass' is at the top of the list. Bright variegation and almost glossy leaves make it really stand out in the shade garden.
We asked a visitor to our gardens to choose the Hosta with the most WOW and her immediate response was 'Stained Glass'. Used in a container planting for Fine Gardening magazine's 2005 contest and placed in the top 10!
