Originated by
Viktoria Serafin of Glenbrook Farm in New York, this
medium to large size hosta is a sport of H. montana
'Aureomarginata'.
It is a green hosta with a narrow yellow to chartreuse
marginal variegation. Very pale lavender flowers bloom
in late July. The flowers are subtended by whitish
bracts.
MyHostas
database says that "It is smaller than montana 'Aureomarginata'.
But early like its parent, watch frost!" This
refers to the fact that H. montana 'Aureomarginata'
is noted for emerging from the ground earlier than many
hostas. It is therefore sometimes damaged by late spring
frosts and might need to be covered to prevent damage on
those nights.
Hosta Helper will call this plant
'Montana Moonshine' (Serafin)
