InfoRare, wavy, rippled.
Round, very light chartreuse/gold leaves. Pale lavender flowers in July.
This H. rupifraga hybrid is one of the most unique gold leaf hostas. The thick leaves have a frosted gold appearance and a dramatic dusty white back (from the H. rupifraga parent). H. 'Frosty Morn' make a truly unique 2' wide clump, topped in late summer with light lavender flowers.
