You'll like Dark Star. I think it probly falls into the oldy but goody category these days. It's an excellent grower/multiplier. Just a very attractive hosta that takes no effort to grow. Just plant it and enjoy it!! :P But give it more space than you think it needs. It may be small right now, but it won't stay that way.

Dark Star has narrow leaves with good bluish color (green in direct sun) and a nice ivory margin, slightly ripply. It reminds me somewhat of Wolverine and has a prominent location in my display garden.
