not reday yet, but soon.  It is in TC right now.  I will tellyou a little
bit.  Paul Hoffer, of Pauls Glory fame, Grows seedlings from Perrys True
Blue.  (The same plants that produced Pauls Glory.)  These are sold to
many nurserynen in this part of the country.  I have bought many.  In
1992, I put one in a rare evergreen display garden, at a little place
called Saybrook Station.  The next year, a yellow streaked section came
up.  I worked with this and finally in 94 I had a beautiful blue Hosta
with a bright yellow center.  This plant is low with nearly round leaves.
 intense puckering, and does not burn in full sun , here.  Last year it
still looked great in early November!
