Irawon, do not have an Autumn Frost.

How about a Stiff Upper Lip? Almost as tough as Rhino Hide.

I got my Autumn Frost last year. The margins on mine stay yellow for a long time. They've only been turning more ivory color in the last couple weeks. This photo is taken just now.

Moccasin,I like the dark green and the white contrasting backs of Stiff Upper Lip.Rhino Hide gets eaten in my garden but not AF.

Babka, you have a beautiful specimen there. I hope mine gets to be more symmetrical like yours in time.

Here's my tough little 'Rhino Hide' peeking out under the handle of the basket (along with 'Sharp Dressed Man' and 'Candy Dish') - all waiting for spots in the garden.

Here's my baby Autumn Frost, which is new this year:

Awww, Eleven, that one even looks tender as a baby. Very nice. I do not have Autumn Frost. However, my attitude and appreciation of blue hosta has changed dramatically since the spring. I'm finding the blue can stay in my temps with watering and adequate shade.

My preference is always for the thick substanced plants, either flat leaves or the corrugated ones. But I like the ones best which stay smooth at maturity. Otherwise, they take on the look of a boxer with cauliflower ears, and look too contorted and beat up.

My Rhino Hide has avoided slug damage so far. Maybe because I keep shifting its location, and the slimeys cannot find it. I made a note that Don (Rawson) said it was slow to grow, and wrote that on its ID tag--then it put on a spurt of growth that surprised me. Maybe the hosta can tell the difference in rain and watering from a hose?

Realized after I took and uploaded this that it is First Frost and not Autumn Frost. Nice shot though so I thought I'd share it anyway. Gail
