I ordered this hosta last year. It was sooo beautiful and stood out in my new hosta garden. We live in northern WI, so some of my hostas are still shoots at the end of May. This one however, came up quickly which I was happy about but unfortunately it is now solid green. I am fairly new to hostas but from what I read they can revert, which I assume is what happened to this one. Now it just looks like a plain jane green hosta. : (
