That's a beauty, Babka! Isn't Monrovia located in Ohio?

I got it bare root, mail order, from Naylor Creek Nursery. Monrovia is headquartered in Azusa, CA, but they have operations in several parts of the US. All our local nurseries carry their plants and that is an old pot I am re-using.

I'm excited! I just made my first order with Naylor Creek!

That is a beauty. My hostas are still just eyes here. Can't wait for my blues after seeing yours.

I'm interested in the ground cover around the stepping stone. What is it and is it good in zone 5a?

Thanks,
Connie

Hi Babka,

My Potomac Pride does not look that good, it's much greener and the stems are longer. I probably need to give it some sun. Yours looks great!

No wonder mine doesn't look like that. Mine isn't Deep Blue Sea. Where did I get the idea this was Potomac Pride? Well, please excuse me, I'm old and it's past my bedtime.

New for me last year , mine is just coming up now. It looks like its gonna be nice has added girth & eyes can't wait until its all the way up. Thanks for the nice picture !

The ground cover is baby tears. It is invasive around here in San Jose. No one has answered my question about a new plant having corregation like this so early.

-Babka

Mine showed corregation the first year I had it too, and it just keeps getting better! The second year it was really cupped! It hasn't unfurled this year but the eyes are huge and puckered.

Oops! I was thinking about Lakeside Sapphire Pleats when I responded. My Deep Blue Sea did not have as much corregation when I got it. It took a few years, but I got it pretty immature.
