Craig Masching made us add this one so it must be choice but for the life of me, I can't remember what the damn thing looks like. Look it up yourself, I have Hosta burnout; we only picked choice and unique ones but it is still hard to say something different about each of them. We have plans to introduce the Arrowhead 'Yet Another series' Yet Another Blue' 'Yet Another White Variegated' etc. to avoid this problem in the future.
