Plant Type: Hostas

This is one of the oldest yellow hostas, and is still one of the best. Large, heart-shaped leaves are bright gold to chartreuse depending on the amount of sun exposure. They are corrugated, wavy, and of good substance making them slug resistant. Tolerates full sun which will intensify the gold color of the leaves. Bright light gives the best color, and in the North, it may need a bit of direct morning sun to look its best.
