Hi Judy,
Since you have S&S, why not Lady Isobel Barnett? This is a green TC
sport of S&S with a narrow gold edge. Big (maybe bigger than S&S) and
fast growing, different, and won't need a bank loan.
Or...Fried Green Tomatoes...gets fairly big, green shiny leaves, and
fast growing, plus fragrant white flowers.
Or...Daybreak...large gold (unusual color), cheap.
Just some thoughts...

P.S. -- Oh....what about Abiqua Drinking Gourd? Big blue, extremely
cupped leaves. Very popular around here!
