'Touch of Class' has intense blue leaves set off by a striking yellow-gold centre. A green colour is created where the gold and blue overlap on these upright thick leaves. It's a sport of 'June'. It's also fertile and I've got 3 nice seedlings from it that I'm still keeping - two are yellow, one with red petioles. And I got one that's green with red petioles. I've had mine since spring 2004. Occasionally it sports a solid blue eye which needs to be separated. Chris from Hallson's told me that Q & Z called such sports 'Bulletproof'; so I have too. Please feel free to share your pictures of this hosta.
