Does anyone have a pic of their 'Blue Hawaii' showing some fall color they could share?

I have Blue Hawaii... it's not really looking fall-ish yet, but I'll try to get a photo when it does. Mine is only in its 2nd year in the garden... just starting to show a little maturity, i.e. - the leaf shape is starting to change a bit. But it has grown a lot since planting - definitely a vigorous plant.

Here is my Blue Hawaii (finally) on October 10, zone 5. It’s looking pretty good but it hasn’t really been that cold yet, although other hostas are already giving up! Hope this helps!

Hey Janice! You did it! Way to go posting the pic. Blue Hawaii looks incredible. The pic does not really give a sense of how huge it is, but you can definitely tell it's a fabulous specimen. Lainey

Never fear, it is a lovely hosta anyway, and I just potted mine up. It will not be thrown out for sure. I won't hold its lack of fragrance against it at all. Thanks, DonR and DonB for the input. The LIST is my favorite shopping tools for fragrant hosta. We're about to begin 3 days of rain, so I must take pictures of it now before the bottom falls out.

Planted too deep for sure - or too much mulch pushed around it. Just take your fingers and move the soil away form where the leaves come out of the crown - tells you how much to lift it up and replant higher. Planted depth in 99+% of all pots I have seen recently are 1-2 inches too deep. Just look for the crown to be at the surface.

Things are really bulking up for you Don, I keep overlooking Blue Hawaii in my orders, how many blues does one need (gasp!) Maybe you can twist my arm when she unfurls? Was going to take some pics today but its peeing down and blowing a hoolie.

This is my BH - just a little browning on a couple of leaves so far... I’d say this one holds up well in the fall! You can see how ratty Rainforest Sunrise looks in the background.
