I received mine as a liner when I attended the Hosta Forum west of Toronto in April 2014. So far it has been growing in a large pot and since it has the potential to become quite a large plant, I’m reserving judgement on whether I will keep it long-term. Space is very limited in my garden. Photo July 16, 2014.
