    Bought this in 2011 as a first year TC plant, as well as The King, and it has been slow growing, but perhaps it didn't like where it was sited. It grows in a pot now.

    IMO, this plant looks its best after it emerges, and less so when it goes through its color change.

    Prolific little hosta that's great for borders.

    Gorgeous sport of hosta 'Satisfaction' with wider edges and keeps getting better through the growing season as the center darkens and the edges become more gold.

    A nice, prolific small hosta. Would make a good border plant.

    Not much difference between this plant and Liberty, other than the leaves seem to be larger and the edges a little wider.

    Bought mine in 2011 as a one eyed, 1st yr TC plant. This year it has three eyes. Seems to be a moderate grower for me. It's growing in a full sun spot now, so I shall see how much it jumps in size next year.

    Update (June 3 2014)

    Wheee! did jump in size this year to 10 eyes. Seems to do well in full sun; it continuously grows new leaves throughout the season and doesn't seem to get scorched by the sun, as long as it gets enough water. And I love saying its name.

    Wider, deeper gold edges than First Frost.

    White center with green specks becomes misted with more green throughout the season.

    Beautiful bright spring yellow plant with red petioles. Leaves green up in the summer.

    They reseed easily and they are drought tolerant as far as Hostas go, also sun tolerant, slug resistant, and rapid growers. Good heat tolerance in zone 8.

    Always provides a great color splash in spring

    Good growing medium sized blue hosta. Keeps its blue color well. Purple petioles.

    Slow growing small streaked hosta.
  • By virginiarose (Virginia - Zone 8a) on Mar 6, 2013 5:20 PM concerning plant: Hosta 'Sea Thunder'
    Great Hosta for southern gardens because of lower than normal winter dormancy requirement.
  • By robertduval14 (Milford, New Hampshire - Zone 5b) on Mar 3, 2013 3:17 PM concerning plant: Hosta 'Yin'
    Early in the season the light margins are a light green that turn creamy white as the season progresses.
  • By ge1836 (Pittsford NY - Zone 6a) on Jan 5, 2013 9:53 AM concerning plant: Hosta 'Nanna'
    I love really small hostas in a container. Nanna is also a fast spreader.
  • By virginiarose (Virginia - Zone 8a) on Dec 31, 2012 5:27 AM concerning plant: Hosta (Hosta sieboldiana var. sieboldiana 'Aureomarginata')
    The border will look chartreuse, gold, or white depending on the amount of sun.

    A very beautiful specimen plant.
