Oh I like that one a lot! How old is yours?? Available at only 1 of the 3 places I normally find my hostas for $16 (not bad!) and this is how they describe it:

Large, semi-upright mound of blue-green foliage. Average mound size is 28"H x 60"W but as large as 44"H x 86"W. Leaves ovate-shaped, cupped, moderately corrugated and of thick substance. Lavender flowers on scapes over 6 feet tall.

I think I might just have to adopt her....(I flipped your pic.)

Thanks for the pic flip Hostanista! "Semi-upright' eh? Hahahah

I forgot to mention this one planted as a one eye in 2000. It's awfully shady there.

Nice-looking plant. Now THAT is a vase shape! Very similar to nigrescens?

Don - so similar that Van Wade and I couldn't tell them apart when we compared leafs in his gardens. There's more to that story...

Oh! Well, I guess if I like one, I could get either variety and be happy.

Thanks for the tip, HH. : )

I've found that this better without much direct sun.

I split mine when I moved 2.5 years ago, it didn't appreciate it much, nor the sunny location it was moved to. It almost completely faded away.

Last summer I moved it to a shady spot, this year it has come back well, and is even putting out a flower, (which are one of the nicer hosta flowers, beautiful ivory white.)

This pic was taken before I moved it. It was a NOID for years to me. Ken nailed it last year for me.

I think it was me that said it was Tenryu last year, Jim! ;) lol

Maybe it was Vanessa, my mind isn't what it was..... Are you in Durham region by any chance?

I am in Northumberland County.

Ahh Port Hope/ Cobourg area then, so were about 50K apart.

I got one h.'Tenryu' 2 years ago from Ferncreekgarden. That plant has become bigger and more eyes. I like its blue and cupped upright leaves. Now I look forward that it gets the size HH shows.
'Tenryu' seems to translate to 'Heavenly Dragon' from the Japanese.
