Nice one, Maid. On Stage is always the last one of mine to make an appearance too. I need to get a pic this year & find it a new home where it can be seen more often.
I split mine in 2 when I got it last year and I like where this one is--but I gotta move the other it is in a perennial bed and needs a home where it can be noticed!!
One of mine just started to unfurl in the warm weather yesterday. The other shot up about 5 inches in the past two days and is starting to unfurl this morning. So strange to see it planted right next to montana Aureomarginata... siblings, but mA is huge and dramatic already and On Stage... just coming up.
Wow... I just made it... now it's pouring, right on the edge of hail/sleet... in the high 80's yesterday, in the 40's today... Minnesota in the spring...
Very pretty pics everyone! This is one of those hostas that makes me worry every year. I keep watching and waiting for it to make it's appearance and it always appears so much later than everything else. I don't need that kind of stress in my life.
jgh I should just blow up pictures of yours and tape over my little guys. They are stunning!! No sleet to the west of you but nice to get some rain finally. (Had to turn off the sprinklers)
I've often said that On Stage should be named Stage Fright because it was the LAST hosta to come -- at least when it came up I knew what had made it and what hadn't.
Yours looks great!
One of my favorites!
