Hosta 'June Gold'
 

This cultivar was listed on the MyHostas Database website. Originated by Jim Anderson of Winterberry Farms in Georgia, this non-registered cultivar is a sport of H. 'June'. It is a miniature size hosta about 5 inches high by 12 inches wide. The golden-yellow foliage is slightly shiny and wavy.

This is different from the cultivar, H. 'June's Gold'.
 

 

An article by Warren I. Pollack in The Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations and interpretations.

 
H. 'Early Times', H. 'Endless Summer', H. 'English Sunrise', H. 'June Gold', H. 'June's Gold', H. 'May' and H. 'Terry Wogan'.
