Great expectations has never done well for me ever. I wonder if that looks an easier alternative

Brother Stefan is one hosta that I can always name when seeing it in someone else's garden. Another first year hosta for me, it took a while for me to find one that looks halfway decent.

The growth has not been spectacular, but rather slow and steady.

Lovely hosta, think it is one of the best newer hostas. It grows rather fast, but most of all it get texture in its 2. year. It have way more texture than GE and is way easier and faster than the other ones Gets a lot of sun in my nordic garden and is still one of the nicer hostas in the garden here late August.
Against stupidity the gods themselves struggle in vain.

This is my first attempt at posting a picture on this forum. This pic was taken on Aug 3. I had to remove 8 solid green leaves from my Brother Stefan earlier this season. Has anyone else's BS reverted?
Re: Daily Hosta #2 - 'Brother Stefan' - Add your pics
Irene - you did well at posting. I hope you get a response to your question about BS. I've not had that problem with mine.

Re: Daily Hosta #2 - 'Brother Stefan' - Add your pics
Thanks, Viola Ann, I had trouble with resizing my image to the right Kbits. I should have made it a bit larger. Love this hosta and I hope it doesn't revert again.

'Brother Stefan' in 2014. This one continues to do well. I may have to move some plants to give it more space.

2015 - July 3. This one continues to grow well and I will likely need to move a plant which is right next to it.

As mentioned in another thread, 'Brother Stefan' failed to survive the winter, but it looked great all through 2017.
Here's my last picture of it. Aug. 15, 2017.
