If anyone can grow a hosta, it would be YOU, Gesila. I think you might have a dud.

I got my Autumn Frost from Hallson's in 2011. It had one nice big eye. In 2012 it had 3 eyes. in 2013 it had 4 eyes. This year it has 9 eyes. Morning sun for just a couple hours before 9 am. Mine's in a pot.

Gesila,
Autumn Frost is one of my favourite plants.
Here's one I purchased last year - 4 eyes. This year 10. That said, it doesn't look that big, so the new divisions aren't creating a huge difference. I don't think it's ever going to be as substantial as its relative First Frost, but that's a plus for me since my space is limited.
I have 3 in total - all approximately the same size. The others have 6 and 11 eyes respectively. The former I've had two years - it has progressed from 2 small eyes to 4 last year and 6 this. However, though it has fewer divisions, they are fatter and it is not easily discernible from the ones I picked up last year with more eyes. In short, their growth is steady, though not spectacular. Come to think of it, First Frost and El Nino don't grow any quicker (in my case maybe even a bit slower). Blue Ivory is the real snail of the bunch for me. I've had it much longer and it pales by comparison to its heartier cousins. I've got it growing in quite a bit of shade, whereas Autumn Frost receives more sun (2 to 4 hours dependent on the month).
Here in BC, the sun isn't as intense as in Ontario or in many of the States, so it really does keep its yellow colour longer - reaching cream in the fall, but never fading to white in my environment.

Depends on how much you paid for it...
