Plant Type: Hostas

One of the best gold-centered hostas with nice substance and texture. The beautiful, corrugated chartreuse to gold leaves have wide, irregular, dark blue-green margins. The variegation and contrast intensify as the season progresses. Each leaf is roughly heart-shaped with a glossy finish. In mid-summer nearly white to pale lavender flowers are produced.

Paradigm produces large leaves and eventually grows into a fairly large clump. The heavy, textured leaves hold up well in the summer heat and are not prone to slug damage. This vigorous cultivar is a relatively fast grower.
