I ordered Love Story last year along with several other hostas. We live in Northern WI, so some of my hostas are just now coming up (mid May) but Love Story was the first one and it already huge. It is so pretty. I will definitely be buying more.

I have two or three of these beautiful plants. They are about two years old and showing great variegation and growing very nicely. This variety is a bit prone to slug damage, at least while it’s coming out of dormancy, so a little slug bait is a good thing to keep on hand.
