With that substance, it looks like it's the sort of hosta that looks terrific through the entire season. Is this true for you?

Great plant, Phil.

Looks like First Frost, but with a smaller margin.

Weekendweeder,yes it holds up all summer;the only difference is,it gets little more gray blue,than just blue. It's a winner! Phil

I love this one Phil. Dress Blues always has a great shape and stays nice all season.

Glad to hear the positives about DB. I got a good sized one just this year. I like it a lot. Yours is gorgeous, Phil.

I love the spring color in Dress Blues.

All right, you guys. Dress Blues is on the wish list!

Just look out for deer. I don't know why, but they'll skip over everything else to eat my Dress Blues. Last year as soon as it put out new Ieaves they'd eat it to the ground. I finally had to move what was left to a spot right by the back door. It gets points for toughness. After all that abuse, it still had 7 eyes this spring. So far the deer haven't touched it. (knock wood)

Does it stay compact all season? It's a really pretty plant, Phil.

Fortunatlely.there are no deer here at my garden. Bkay,it is about 36 inches across,and yes,it stays nice and compact,and slugs really don't bother it either. Phil
