'Blue Cadet' does well in this very dark corner where many hostas have tried to grow and failed. Little, by little it's being converted into a border.

'Blue Ice' is a little blue hosta, fairly slow growing, but gradually increasing.

'Blue Ivory' will be dug and moved later this summer as it simply isn't growing. 4 years in my garden.

'Brother Stefan' has been in my garden a few years and it's growing by leaps and bounds.

'Bulletproof' - or at least that's what Chris Wilson says I can call it. It has all come from 'Touch of Class'. Growing well and with very good substance.

'Charlotte's Web' acquired late in 2011. Flanked here by 'Fire Island', 'Red October' and 'Paradise Island'. Some of this plant stabilized last year and it looks as though more of it may be doing that.

'Cherry Tart' was new at the same time as 'Charlotte'. Found a spot in the garden for it last autumn, but have not yet had a chance to mulch this year. It's growing very well and the base of the petiole is bright red.
