Stiletto does have yellow margins. At least mine does.

i've divided 'stiletto' many times over through the years, i have some growing under different conditions throughout my garden. i've never had one come up with yellow/cream margins like yours has.

I looked up Stiletto on the hosta library, and all of them on there have the yellow edge, and in the database it even says that it has a creamy yellow edge turning white, which is what mine is doing. If you could post a pic, maybe we can see what your Stiletto looks like and can figure out what's going on with it.

Mine is creamy yellow edges too - moosenoz, photos of your Stiletto would help a lot...... this is mine form this year:

Mine looks like yours,too Alexa. I've never seen one that looked any different! Phil

I agree...never saw a Stiletto without yellow margins. Your older one must be something else, would like to see a pic of it. Always enjoy a good mystery!

I agree, my Stiletto has yellow margins. I also have Indy Parade Lap, which looks like stiletto but the margin turns white much earlier in the season.

thanks for your help/replies. sorry i didn't have time to post pictures any earlier. however here's a picture of the hosta that i've always labeled as 'stiletto' no yellow margins on these. they've always been white

here's a picture of the young hosta with yellow/gold margins that, to me, looks a lot like stiletto
