    I love this Hosta. It appears that I lost the label or the plant has grown out and around the label. I will look hard for it when I split the plant next Spring.

    This Summer I moved a different one and when I split it I found the label in the middle of the whole wad. Hopefully that will be the case when I split this one up.

    It's funny. As fall approaches it's turning an olive green.

    Barb, It is an unusual hosta. Amazing it can grow so well with so little chlorophyll.
