| Info | =montana 'On Stage'. ='Choko Nishiki' - Japan. 14" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade. Yellow primary leaf color with a two tone green margin streaking to the center. Leaves 8 x 5. Purple flowers. A large montana hybrid with yellow leaf, irregular green margins. This is one of the most talked about hostas in any garden. The pointed, deeply veined leaves are green with a multi-tone gold center. It emerges very late in spring with a bright gold center that changes later to white, then to a light/dark green contrast late in the season. When planted in morning sun, it holds its color better through the summer. The 3' wide clumps are topped with light lavender flowers in early summer on 48" scapes. Yellow leaves with irregular green margins, a rapid grower; lavender flowers. The reversed form of montana 'Aureo-marginata'. Leaves are yellow with irregular two-tone green margins. One of the most beautiful new Hostas we have seen and certainly one of our favorites. Lavender flowers. |
