Hosta 'Papa' is the gold centered sport of H. 'Big Daddy Streak'. Has a good blue green margin so growth should be good. An attractive blend of colors.
A gold centered sport of H. 'Big Daddy' (the stable form of 'Big Daddy Streak'). Gold color holds well into the season, finally fading to a cream color. The variegation stands out well from the dark blue green edge. Slow growing (so is the parent) to a medium sized plant.
