This leaf will tell the story of this unique hosta. Not a nice clump yet but it will come.

WOW! I would really like to see that one in person. I have it on my list, but am told it takes regular maintenance to keep the reverting eyes out, and I thought that would be too much this year. Do you know if it is fertile?

No idea if it fertile but the regular dividing to keep it normal looks to be very true.

Mine needs regular dividing to stay true. By the way, what is it reverting to? Does anyone know?
