I'm really excited to have purchased such a fine hosta last year. I planted it in my Memory Garden last summer but when Victory became available I moved it to another spot. GA survived the move like a trooper. Mine is planted in a problem area which receives late afternoon sunlight. Here's an early spring photo.
