Pea soup?

Yes, but it's turning yellow. To be a strong yellow Hosta, it needs to be green sometime, and better early than late.

Nice looking plant.

Thanks George, this seedling is this colour from spring to fall.

Jim, that comes from Bob Solberg, both directly at First Look, and in his class on yellow Hostas at Hosta College.
