Cabaret looks a lot like Hanky Panky to me, so I went to the Hosta Library and wasn't surprised to find it is a sport of Hanky Panky. I would like to see them growing next to each other for a comparison. My Hanky Panky was planted among larger Hostas so I dug it up, gave it to a friend, and planted a larger Hosta in the empty space. It was OK but not a favorite to me. Cabaret wouldn't tempt me. It is down from Striptease, which has many mutations.
