you better go look at the library ....

the big one sure does NOT look like OS ....

but the babe does look like outer space ...

in my z5,, tiny babes heave from the ground during freeze thaw .... so i might not want to be digging it up this late.. unless you give it additional protection ...

and i would not divide it.. if it does not have a good root system of its own ...

good stuff... thanks for sharing!

unless... it greens up like the larger.. and all you are seeing is a young flush with spring colors on it..

in which case .... its not really a sport at all ...

Thanks Ken,I guess the best move is to do nothing.

Phil,
I would get ahold of Butch if I were you. He is an expert at this sort of thing.He has isolated a few sports for myself and a friend of mine with amazing results.His e-mail is wilddog_202@yahoo.com He will be happy to help.

Phil, check out the databse at the library for this one: It says that it changes from white margins in the spring to two-tone green. I don't know this hosta, but it seems like you may just have the new foliage color going on in that new eye.

Thanks everybody.I purchased the plant this spring.I wrote to the seller that it did not look right.He assured me that it was.It was two tone green as it is now.
Since I posted the picture it is now growing another eye with the yellow exterior.Looks like I am getting the spring colors from it in late August.Kind of a neat plant that will be worth keeping an eye on.Phil
