Seems to tolerate sun better than many hostas, and its pointy leaves provide variety when interplanted with more oval-leafed hosta varieties. Leaves also make great greenery in flower bouquets.

The foliage clump matured to about 44 inches in width and 20 inches in height, and the scapes above the birdbath. It was overpowering the birdbath & the width was simply too large for this small garden, hiding the garden edge by about 8 inches. Bees were buzzing right near my hands when removing and replacing the bath bowl for refreshing the water, so in May, 2023 I transplanted the three clumps elsewhere with more room for their size. Two back by the tree and one behind the garage. I will plant smaller hosta around the birdbath.
