Jade Cascade is finally getting tall! I saw this cultivar in a convention garden and decided I HAD to have it.
For size reference, Unchained Melody (Elatior Hybrid) is on the left, and Earth Angel is in front. In a couple years, it might actually look like the "showstopper" I saw a few years ago.

I was trying to remember when I did get it. It must have been 2004, but it was multi-eyed. I do remember that.

Lookin' good, Roxanne. Mine is great this year, after being hit by the late freeze last year. The wind has been taking a toll on it though. I haven't had a spare minute to take pics yet. I hope I can get some soon!

I stumbled on mine last year and it's one of the few that I've purchased at a non-hosta specialty nursery. I love it!

Heck, hang around. I'd split it with you!
The Tidewater you sent me is much smaller, but is down in front of JC, and it is so much bluer in color, it's amazing! It has the same form, everything. Can't wait for it to grow up!

Not sure if I should post this since I'm closer to North Carolina.
Mine is still young, but I think this is a hosta that shows best "up high" in a pot or a spot that it can drape its leaves a bit.
Here is mine next to my two clumps of Sagae. Hopefully I'll get my new bed in starting this weekend, just about where these are sitting.

wow, it's big and beautiful! I've wanted Jade Cascade for awhile now, but knowing how large it should get has held me back. Mine are already packed way too close.

I had one but it rotted in a pot when I moved
I had gotten it at Cahoon's in West side Cleveland, but they no longer carry it. So I keep looking.
