To Crazed Hoosier,
I, too, am in USDA zone 6A. I'm near Springfield, MA. Last fall I never got around to sinking a number of pots of hosta Golden Tiara into the ground. They spent the entire winter in their pots, sitting on top of the ground. See photos of what I have this year. They are still in the same pots, still in the same spots where they spent the winter. I tried to move some of them this morning, so at least I could get them out of the tall grass for my photos, but they are now firmly attached to the ground. Unless you have something else going on, such as deer coming in for the kill, this would seem to be a good variety for you to try growing. Golden Tiara is probably the fastest growing hosta I own. Extremely hardy for sure!
