Bought this in 2011 as a first year TC plant, as well as The King, and it has been slow growing, but perhaps it didn't like where it was sited. It grows in a pot now.

I bought this plant in 2011 as a first year TC and it has been a slow grower. It could be it did not like where it was sited, I have it growing in a pot now as well as The Queen.
Gorgeous sport of hosta 'Satisfaction' with wider edges and keeps getting better through the growing season as the center darkens and the edges become more gold.
Bought mine in 2011 as a one eyed, 1st yr TC plant. This year it has three eyes. Seems to be a moderate grower for me. It's growing in a full sun spot now, so I shall see how much it jumps in size next year.
Update (June 3 2014)
Wheee! did jump in size this year to 10 eyes. Seems to do well in full sun; it continuously grows new leaves throughout the season and doesn't seem to get scorched by the sun, as long as it gets enough water. And I love saying its name.
They reseed easily and they are drought tolerant as far as Hostas go, also sun tolerant, slug resistant, and rapid growers. Good heat tolerance in zone 8.
