| Positive | On Jun 29, 2018, PatrickNH from Barnstead, NH wrote: With over 50 varieties this is my absolute favorite. If I could have only one variety this would be it. I seldom keep multiple copies of any one plant, but I have divided this and keep it in half a dozen places in my gardens so I can see it just about anywhere I happen to be in the yard, except for full sun areas. |

| Positive | On Jan 25, 2006, wallaby1 from Lincoln, I bought this as a young plant from Bowden Hostas in the UK in Spring 2000, planted in its present spot later that year. It has not looked back, and is now a healthy, compact plant which always flowers well, and makes seed. I have several seedlings growing from it, none like the parent but it has produced many shapes, colours and textures. Some light yellow and pointed, some darker and more rounded, it must cross well with the other varieites I have, it will be exciting to see what they turn out like. I would say it is a good 'pod' parent. |
