There is an image of this
cultivar on the
Hosta Library. From the photo, it appears to be a
large size hosta with blue-green leaves and narrow,
creamy yellow marginal variegation. This non-registered
cultivar of unidentified parentage is from
Heinz Klose of
Staudengärtnerei Klose in Germany.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009), "The
name "goldzirkel" (German) translates to "gold circle"
indicating that this may be the same as Hosta
'Golden Circles'."
This hosta was included on a list at the
Hosta Library with the name as both 'Goldzirkel' and 'Goldeir Kel'.
Also, comparing the images of 'Goldzirkel' with
'Golden Circles', it would appear that 'Golden
Circles' has a much wider, more defined marginal
variegation. One source indicated that this cultivar
originated with
Eric Smith of England.
