This non-registered cultivar from
W. George Schmid
of Georgia is a hybrid
of H. 'Ōgon Tachi' × H.
alismifolia. It has greenish yellow, crinkled foliage. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...may no longer exist."
"Plant
is medium size and has erect greenish yellow leaves that are crinkled and
deformed like those of certain types of Chinese lettuce whose mound it
resembles." Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled,
A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term ogon or oogon
as gold or yellow and the term tachi as upright, 'Tachi Gibōshi' or
H. rectifolia.
