This cultivar of unidentified parentage was registered by
Randy Goodwin of
Indiana in 2006. A small size plant, this hosta has
bright gold colored foliage in the spring that changes
to a green shade later in the season. The leaves are
wavy and have smooth texture. Lavender flowers bloom
from mid-August into September.
There is also
a cultivar named H. 'Early
Riser'.
An article by
Warren I. Pollock in
The Hosta Journal (2010 Vol. 41 No. 1) states
that the hosta
H. 'Early to Rise' which was registered by
Randy Goodwin in 2006
was originally called 'First
Up'." However, 'First Up' is not acceptable under
the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated
Plants...could be considered as exaggerating the merits
of the plant."
