This cultivar is the result of a
cross between H. 'Gold Cup' × H. 'Golden Waffles' and it was
registered by
Paul Aden of New York in 1978. The
large size mound grows to about 21
inches in height with a spread of 45 inches. The bright gold
foliage is deeply cupped and has thick
substance. It bears near-white flowers starting in mid-July. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Its only negative is a slow growth rate."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Leaves will always have a green undertone,
especially the midrib and veins, if grown in full shade, but
will assume a brassy, metallic hue if exposed to strong sunlight
for long periods. Slow to establish but has never been
bettered."
