Plant Type: Hostas

This hosta has wavy yellow foliage that is held on bright red petioles. It forms a very nice mound of sun-tolerant yellow leaves. The leaves emerge bright yellow and become more chartreuse in summer. Some bright sun helps keep a good yellow color. The red is on both sides of the petioles and bleeds into the leaf.  Reddish-purple flowers on red scapes in summer.
