Originated by
Alttara
Scheer of Connecticut, this non-registered
cultivar is of unidentified parentage. It is a miniature size
(4 inches high by 16 inches wide) hosta with chartreuse
to gold colored foliage. The leaves are ovate and
generally smooth textured. Medium purple flowers bloom
from late June into July on scapes (and petioles) with
purple dots.
The originator made the following comment on the
Fraternal Order
of Seedy Fellows website: "Named for the
Boyz at Naylor Creek, this sassy little plant
emerges bright chartreuse with pointy little red leaf
tips (it's a mini, so you have to look close, but it's a
unique identifiable feature). As the red fades on the
tips, the slightly glossy leaves turn bright yellow and
in July it sends up brassy scapes in perfect proportion
to the clump with ultraviolet flowers in abundance.
Leaves have good substance and the compact clump has a
vigorous growth rate. Will tolerate more sun than most
and colors up best with a few hours of direct sun. Clump
will reach 6x12" at maturity. Available from Naylor
Creek Nursery "
