I added it last spring. It is that blue, and huge, in my high shade. It is coming up now, nothing open yet. Mr. Stegman told me they grew the ones from tc that I bought from the supplier I purchased it from in their yard, lol. I love it. I will have to look and see if it has increased from last season. I think I got one or two eyes last year.
re: Prairie Sky... it's in Shady Oaks wholesale tc catalog for under $5, so it should be around and the price should come down significantly in 2-3 years.
edit: wow, Tigger... I don't know how they could claim any exclusivity... it was also in last year's Shady Oaks catalog, so lots of people should have them this year...

I don't know for sure about exclusivity, but it was the only place I saw it this year. It was shown (the same picture) at the convention last year in a "what's hot in hostas" talk in which Hans participated. It may be that Tony/PDN gets a head start on selling Hans's own discoveries, as what I got sure ain't no baby TC.
