Professional Growing Information Planted around the base of a large oak tree with consistent water. It's come back for three years now, but is the first of my 8 hostas to disappear every year. It's clearly a favorite of rabbits, as it is the only hosta of its kind in a ring of mostly blue angels. I really like the way it looks, but it never seems to get bigger and only appears for a short couple of months before getting devoured.

I was worried because, while it is right under a tree, it gets a full blast of sun for a bit of the afternoon. But it has held up perfectly and looks incredible. It provides.a very necessary blue tone to the space.

This is the second year for Waterslide. It was slow to break dormancy, but then again, we had a very cold spring. When it finally leafed out, it looks good. Waiting to see at full maturity, but so far, looks Like the photo. Nice blue color. Nice wavy leaves.
