My BI is 4 years old. Slow but steady grower. For me, not a garden standout, but pretty. Looking best it ever has this year. The blue greens up through the season, and the white margins can get a mistly green appearance sometimes, not staying pure creamy white.

Mine was put in 2013. This is the worst its ever looked. The edges that are ratty seem to be from abrasion. I don't think it likes how crowded this bed has become. But it's a generally sturdy plant.

Mine has been super slow. It finally put on some size this year, but the three bouts of hail have left it pretty sad looking. I've had better luck with Great Escape.

I got mine 2 yrs ago and it has not really increased in size at all. To be fair, it would probably do better in a different bed with more access to light, but I have not moved it. I may consider potting it up to give it a better chance at success.

I'll have a misted Blue Ivory to go, please! ;-)

One of its sports, 'Ivory Queen' emerged for the first time and it is pretty and mysterious with the cream center showing a bit of colour. This sport also took on a bit of that misted green as its mama does. Going to be fun following that one and maybe I will be content just having it. Would love a BI but ... (Love the colour of Blue Ivory-always gets me.)

Mine was set back when I had to move it a couple of years ago. It's slow, but the blue with white make it an attractive hosta to me. The white does mist in the heat of the summer.

Here's my Blue Ivory. It's a very slow grower and I see it doesn't look like everyone else's. Is it mislabeled?

Little bug, I would say it probably is. My sister has one with just three leaves but it has a wide creamy margin none the less.

Is what, Barb? Mislabled?

Here is mine. Got it late last year.

I think it is mis-labled. Even when it is very young it has the wide white edge.

Mine started out great for a few years, then got too misty green on the white edges. I substituted it with Autumn Frost, which, although it begins with a yellow edge, it turns white and stays there thru Fall.

Littlebug- Yes, yours is not Blue Ivory.

Littlebug, yes I think it is mislabeled. I was thinking maybe El Nino but here is mine and I think my leaves are much rounder.

Thank you for all your comments, I think I will get Blue Ivory and give it a try. I am also getting Half and Half as a sub for Andrew because the grower is out. She said Half and Half seems to be a better grower here in Michigan.
