This cultivar was registered in 2009
by Stuart Asch of Michigan and is of unidentified parentage. It is a
large size (20 inches high by 36 inches wide) hosta with
golden yellow foliage. The leaves are broadly ovate,
moderately corrugated, deeply wavy, slightly cupped and
slightly shiny on top with lime colored petioles. Near
white flowers with lavender stripes bloom from June into
July on 33 inch tall, golden yellow scapes. The seed
pods are green with red tints. According to the registration materials: "...beautiful golden yellow with nicely rippled
edge. Color lasts all season. Near white flowers
provide contrast..."
The originator made the following comment on the
Fraternal Order
of Seedy Fellows website: "This is one outstanding
yellow/gold hosta. The bright shimmering gold folded
leaves in spring soon give way to a much wider and
beautifully rippled leaf by early summer. A definite eye
catcher. Near white flowers in early July."
