This one is a very slow grower and mine did not grow much in the past year.

2014 - I don't think it's much larger than when I got it.

2015 - Aug. 13. I decided this one was in a spot that was too dark and too dry. So, I potted it and it's done well. Haven't decided on a long-term garden location though.

2017 - it did well in a pot. but in early 2018, it's getting smaller. Many of my hostas are not doing as well in 2018 - weird weather in early spring. July 27, 2017.
