Risky Business
has more than leaped this year. I think I counted 14 divisions a few weeks ago. It sure looks good!! It has some interesting variegation on a few leaves. I didn't realize it would get that bright green in between the center & margin.

Here's a pic of my Risky Business... it also leaped this year.
And here is a pic of my streaky Risky Business sport. It was divided from the plant in the pic above last year. Too bad it's not fertile (at least not for me...) No seed pods set on this one last year.

Thanks - I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it's done this year.
Sorry about yours, Impatience. I have several hostas that are doing what your RB is doing. How much light does yours get? I realize you get more heat sooner than I do here, but this one gets full afternoon sun for 3-4 hours every day. Maybe some direct light for an hour or so would be a good thing for yours...

I think the white centered ones actually need a little more sun than others since they have less chlorophyll. But be prepared for them to possibly burn this year if you move them. But leave them after you move them even if they do. Next year they'll be more acclimated to the new spot & will do better.
