That's a nice spot, Pirl. I also have a one year old Stained Glass, and was surprised to see only two eyes this Spring, after the vigorous growth it showed in just it's first season. But, the two eyes have big leaves, so it's a pretty nice size so far. I bet yours is gonna be huge by the end of this season if it has a bunch of eyes. I'm not sure how big a mature SG is, either. There is so much conflicting info on the web about sizes. I think up here, we grow 'em big! Has something to do with the superlong winters, I guess. My one concern about swapping it with Parhelion is that it might almost get too yellow with the afternoon sun..not sure I want a screaming yellow one there. But, Parhelion is gonna get pretty gold by the end of summer too.

This one might be a possible replacement, too. I bought it from NH hostas last year, and although it only came up with one eye, the leaves are big and thick. It should be lime with a cream edge, and that's about all I know about it. It's called "My Cup of Tea". Delta Dawn is another one I have and am thinking about for that spot.
