Ice Prancer Opinion?

Does anyone have an opinion on the Reptilian sport, Ice Prancer? It's not in the library for some reason. I think it looks really nice but can't find out much about it. Seems that I read Reptilian is a good one so maybe Ice Prancer is as well.

I'm wanting a medium to large blue that has narrow leaves. Blue Sliver is very pretty but is small and supposed to be a very slow grower. Turning Point looks interesting...does anyone have experience with it?

There's a photo and some info on shadyoaks site.
I just got it so can't add much on growing it

Thanks, Pam. Yes, I saw that and it sounds like a good one. Can you tell how wide the foliage will be on your Ice Prancer? I just wonder if it will be narrow or wedge shaped...hard to tell in the photo. I really want to get it...like the name. too.

I just got an Ice Prancer too. [Couldn't resist at 1/2 price. And it wasn't too expensive to begin with.] Only time will tell what it really does, but I'm sure leaf shape & size and plant size will be similar to Reptillian. My Reptillian hasn't been a very fast grower & is still only medium sized, but it's gotten the nice puckering & rippled margins this year, and it's really looking great.

Half price?? Can you say where you got it?
My hosta budget is long gone but not my need for more hostas.

Mine's a TC - I checked the tag and it doesn't give a mature leaf size.

It was a country greenhouse in IA that's now closed for the season. I got one & a friend got the other.
