This hybrid of H. 'Sum and Substance' × an unnamed seedling was
registered by
Paul Aden of New York in 1982. It grows into a large size hosta about 24 inches in height
with a spread of around 53 inches. The foliage is chartreuse to
gold in color with a slightly wavy margin and slight
corrugation. Its pale lavender, fragrant flowers bloom from late
July into August.
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Site in morning sun followed by dappled shade or
the leaves will not turn golden yellow...Floral
fragrance is only apparent in hot, humid climates."
"The
plants offered in commerce have leaves of uniform light green
which becomes yellow with the advancing season and grows larger
than the sizes (in the registration material)."
