I also purchase this one just on the eye appeal it has. I just love the color and the streaks on the leaves. Does anyone have one to show me a picture of a more mature one? Will it stay this way? Thanks for any information that you can give me on this one.
Thanks,
Sue

I just got this one a few weeks ago, too! It looks to be about the same size as yours. It is beautiful, isn't it?!? We may have gotten them at the same place... can you share where you got it? You can pm me. Also, is this the same place you got the Baby Bunting? I think it might be just frost or shipping damage...not sure though. All mine that had leaves up during the freeze and didn't turn to mush, have light speckles on the leaves...I hope that is all it is...

I got this one last year from Chris and Brian when I was at Hallson's for the get together in August. He told me to plant it right away and I did. I'm happy to see that it is returning this year. Seems to me that Chris told me it could be unstable?? Correct me if I'm wrong about that ,Chris. It sure is pretty, isn't it?
Nice .. got mine 2 years ago and it is still streaked
Aren't all streaked hostas more or less unstable

I got a few tc's 3 years ago. It's still just one eye, but the leaves are much bigger this year. I think it might classify as a slow-grower. I know that Big Daddy sat still in my garden for about 3 years before it decided to grow.
I think it's a beauty, and hoep someday it decides to put up more than one eye!
