Info=kikutii var. polyneuron 'Yoshinogawa'.
Long, strappy, arching leaves are uniquely streaked with cream and white. Has been completely stable for me, but does not tissue culture worth a darn.A sport of H. kikutii polyneuron, this is an extremely rare hosta, unique in that it keeps its streaked green and gold leaves season after season. Outstanding for hybridizing for streaked seedlings as well as a beauty to look at.
