Looks like Old Glory to me, but I expect the margins to be a little darker. The coloring is like Rascal, a sport of gold Regal.

Re: Whos this? a little tuffer than last one
My first thought was Lakeside Symphony, a subtly variegated sport of Piedmont Gold. Although mine aren't that big yet it has this potential.

Re: Whos this? a little tuffer than last one
My old Glory faded into the garden a couple of years ago. Rascal is on the other side of the yard. I thought the same thing that it looks simular to rascal. The other 2 mentioned I dont have.
Thanks....and keep trying

Could it be Garden Party? Mine is having its leap year and it is huge...
Re: Whos this? a little tuffer than last one
Hey just a thought.........Could it be Garden Treasure? I bought that a couple of years ago...Ill have to check my list.
Re: Whos this? a little tuffer than last one

My first thought was five oclock shadow....only because I recieve what I thought was garden party last year at a trade event and to my surprise she told me later it was five oclock shadow. It seems very similar.

Five O'Clock Shadow was my first thought as well. Texture looks right. I usually think of Lakeside Symphony as looking a little more, well, elegant. It's a big one!
Re: Whos this? a little tuffer than last one
OK I do (bought) Garden Party. Im thinking this is it. Ive lost alot of Hostas from the winter freeze over the last 3 yrs . I once had Garden Treasure....remains to be seen if I still do
But I think who ever said GP is right. Compared to the pics on HL they look the same. Just not real bright in the center yet as in one shot onHL.

I agree, that is Garden Party. Went and looked at mine and although I didn't think the edges were wavy at all mine are like that too. And very subtle right now.

Re: Whos this? a little tuffer than last one
I always try to guess these before I look at the replies, and my first (and only) guess was Garden Party.
It's a monster! I have 3 of these, and they all come up with the edge color only a very faint shadow,
and as the year goes by the edge becomes more pronounced. GP is a sport of Golden Sculpture.

not certain but would go with Piedmont Gold or a sport if it
