InfoIt's a hot yellow seedling that looks like a piece of the sun fell to earth in your garden. Kent, one of the FOoSF folks, says that it has excellent sun tolerance, and that it holds its bright yellow color well into summer with very little "greening up".
Named in honor of his good friends Jim & Meg Dalton, it is a medium-sized brilliant yellow hosta with awesome bumples that uniformly cover the leaf. This plant can be grown in quite a bit of sun and will actually show more intense coloration if this is done. Topped with lavender flowers. Chosen as the best "Yellow Seedling" at First Look 2.
