'Paul's Glory' has yellow foliage with a blue-green edge. A medium-size hosta, it has bell-shaped blooms which top 2" scapes. Its leaves are thicker than most hostas, making it less prone to slug attack and other pests. Deer and rabbits are, however, attracted to 'Paul's Glory'. There should be a reduction in nitrogen in late summer so as to allow the plant to get ready for fall dormancy.
