This
is one of those cases where there are three hostas with the
same name. None are currently registered with
The American Hosta Society. The first one to be registered would
become the "official" hosta of that name and the
others would have to be renamed. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...'Golden
Honey' represents a confusing situation to say the
least!...George Schmid (1991, p.167) listed three plants
bearing this name, including one from
Eric Smith of
England (later renamed 'Gold Haze'), one from
"K. Anderson", and the third from "Lewis" ("Summers
#73")...I have never seen a single specimen in a
collection or nursery labeled 'Golden Honey'."
The confusion continues...
