I got this one last year and looks to be the same age as yours. It's a nice hosta so far. I like it. Yours looks good with the sweet woodruff.

I really had no idea this was available yet! I just got one yesterday, Saturday, from the owner Bridgewood Gardens. We went to an Open house there and he got it from the back area, it was not for sale. The plant I have is by no means a mature plant, but I will take a few pictures tomorrow and post them. chris

This will be a nice hosta. Wish I could have found it for a $1....I don't have that one, but now that I see what the others photos look like I will have to find this one too. michelle

Can you give me an update on Goodness Gracious?

I just got mine, and I chose it because of its relationship to Piedmont Gold, which is the one Satisfaction sported from, and then Goodness Gracious sported from Satisfaction. I have those three and another Piedmont Gold sport, Sentimental Journey. Which I bought accidentally, mistaking the name for Journey's End. However, it was a good kind of mistake, and gives my collection a bit more depth in the strong gorgeous big growing hosta area. I'm sure others will chime in here quickly, since a good many of the Goodness Gracious plants flew out of the nurseries this summer. It is eye catching alright. Sort of a family tradition. I don't know if you've made the acquaintance of a very helpful data base or not, but you can begin with the HostaLibrary.org......then when you click to view a hosta picture, at the top of its page will be an active link for you to click to view more information about that hosta. That will take you to MYHOSTAS.BE and there you will find several parts to check out. One is the index of sports--the family tree of many many hosta and how many sports they threw....I think Gold Standard must be the champ with up to 150 or something like that. Also, another part, if you want to look up information about Goodness Gracious all by itself, you search (by typing that name in) the very first part of the database. It throws back to you all the possible plants you might be looking for....even if you only know part of the names.....the portion about where you can buy it is not current pricing, but it gives you an idea of where to start looking anyway. I'll link you to the MYHOSTAS.BE page which features Goodness Garcious, and you explore from there. Hope this helps a wee bit. :) Here is a link that might be useful: My Hostas...sports...Goodness Gracious

also, in case anyone wonders what that "mossy" looking stuff is underneath the top Hosta leaf, it's just lemon thyme.
The Hosta Library has a new pic of Goodness Gracious up. It's the most mature pic I've ever seen, can't WAIT for mine to grow!

Great ball o' fire! Does the variegation get more pronounced when it has been up longer? Nice plant. Phil

Here's Goodness Gracious today. It started out with muted colors, but has started to change a lot since it arrived about 3 weeks ago. It's coloring up nicely. This is a new plant in a pot. It gets a good deal of morning sun.

And a leaf close up.

I wanted to post the mature pic from the library here, but they don't have it posted on the linkable page yet.
Go check it out, wow!

I drove half way across town to get this one last Sunday. Came back with nine others and after I saw your post, I realized I forget to get Goodness Gracious! Walter's Gardens introduced it in 2010, a sport of Satisfaction.

It is a fast grower too! I got mine last June and after planting, it grew steadily all summer and already this year it looks double the size. I've already moved it!

I am SOOOO satisfied with my 'Satisfaction' that I picked up another one this year to place across the garden from the other one.
And, I might just get another to triangulate from the other two. That's HOW satisfied I am with that hosta and my gardens!

Now, if the 'Goodness Gracious' performs as well as 'Satisfaction' with even wider margins, it's definitely a buy for me and a keeper.
I just wonder if it will consistently produce wider margins than my 'Satisfaction' has?

Taken in '09! I need to get out there and take a more current pic. of it! It's a monster!
