Part of the "Sea
Series' of hostas, this plant was registered by
Mildred Seaver of Massachusetts in 1985. It is a large size (23 inches high) plant that is an
open-pollinated seedling of H. 'Ledi
Lantis'. The foliage is slightly wavy and corrugated, ovate
shaped and has above average substance. Whitish flowers
bloom from late June into July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "A photo of Mildred Seaver holding
three leaves of "Sea Gold' graced the cover of the Spring 1986
issue of
The Hosta Journal
(1986 Vol. 17, No. 1) . Mildred's leaves had just received the President's
Exhibitor Trophy (overall champion) during the 1985
National
Convention of The
American Hosta Society
cut leaf show. Still, it has never been very popular in the
nursery trade."
