InfoWe have been growing this plant for 7 or 8 years and finally decided to offer a few as many have expressed a desire to purchase it. Another of those H. 'Gold Standard' sports, this one comes up with reversed variegation, a green center and a unique yellow-gold margin (somehow different from other hosta golds) and then in early summer -usually early to mid June- it magically reverses and takes on a normal H. 'Gold Standard' appearance. When the new flush appears it again starts out reversed but usually only holds until the leaf reaches full size. If you are familiar with H. 'Collector's Banner', this plant does the opposite. lavender flowers.
