Lol ssgardener when you say massive look at pic below of Hosta 'Empress Wu" I saw one for sale today on my out and about. The bloom stalks were at eye level and that's before blooming! 4' x 4' with leaves up to 18 inches. That would cover a lots of ground.

Gita Three white edged green leaf Hosta would be prefect! Yipee. And, the cutest little Persian Shield hopped in my shopping cart today and said "Take me to Gita, where I will be loved!"
Just can't argue with some plants so it is tagged for you dear Lady.

UMD I spied 'Valentine' Bleeding Heart and compared it side by side with Old Fashioned pink...Yep, red and the 'hearts' sharper. Foliage seems very much the same. Homestead Gardens sign said 1st time offered.

Chantell Boo Hoo...I did find one of the Hoya on your list...'Ruby Sue", but sadly it was covered in mealies. There were four other Hoyas (in another store !) but the tag just said Hoya. I will keep my eyes peeled as I enter the Hoya world and those other plants that look like them!

Jill You are a sweetheart and thanks for anyone's efforts or plain curiosity in locating a pink striped/variagated Setcretsea, I did find one today called 'pink corazon' so I am good to go.
