Lakeside Party Dress, please! I need to see some pic.'s to decide if mine is o.k. or a dud. Can you also tell me how long you've grown it. Thanks, I appreciate it, but won't say so after every post
Well I'm on my third one, and its just as weak and unappealing as the first two. In my garden they've proven to be slug magnets, poor growers and not as pretty as the Hosta Library pics.
I keep trying and I keep getting disappointed.

Here's mine this spring. This isn't the best pairing in my garden, but both plants seem to be doing well here, and I hate to risk losing either of them by messing with them! I'll try to get a better pic of LPD later, that is, if the cutworms haven't found it.

Maybe Peedee Laughing River is a better choice for the same effect? Not the greatest picture here, as the sun was coming through. The leaves get a little broader as the plant matures.
Hi Barbara~
There were a bunch of incorrectly labeled plant sold a few years back. They were actually Lakeside Prissy Miss. How do you mean yours is a dud?

Hi Kathie
I didn't think it was growing too well, but from the pix, its about the same...it just never wowed me, still doesn't guess I was expecting more from it.
I'll see if I can pull a few weeds and take a pic. of it, and you all tell me what you think!
My 2 are much younger than those pictured...but both look pretty much exactly like the first pix at the Hosta Library. The leaves arch out, slightly more upright than purely horizontal and don’t touch the ground. When those pictured were younger, did they also hold their leaves well off the ground?
I really like mine - especially the streaked one. The borders are very uneven this year on this one - some places very wide, some very thin and some places missing...often on the same leaf.
That's OK. No need for the disappointing LS Party Dress, but 'Party Favor' is a nice plant that I use in hybridizing. It's still on a party theme. It can be a summer barbecue, and we can all dress casually.
Have most Mary's more recent introductions been somewhat disappointing? I throw that on the floor for discussion.

You obviously got the problem solved. 
Good to have you back!!
