						slow growing cultivar is a sport of H. 'Rich Uncle'. 
						It is a large size hosta about 18 inches high by 40 
						inches wide with golden yellow foliage that has a medium 
						green marginal variegation. The leaves are moderately 
						corrugated, broadly ovate, moderately wavy and dull on 
						top. Tubular flowers bloom from June into July on scapes 
						up to 30 inches tall. According to the registration materials: "...round, gold centered, green margined leaves 
							in a medium large sized mound...center chartreuse in spring..."
						
						 
			  
						 An article about hosta names from 
						Mark Zilis by Warren I. Pollock   in 
						
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2013 Vol. 44 No. 1) states that, "I 
started using Zulu names for a few hostas after the 2010 [soccer] World Cup...Jabulani, 
which means 'rejoice,' amd Vuvuzela was the name of the horn blown by 
fans during the World Cup...Uju is a palindrome, a word that reads the 
same forward and backward. Mark's first choice was another Zulu word with 
several u vowels in it, but there's some controversy over its English 
meaning."
