| Info | It is a large to very large gold with huge uniquely shaped leaves, is a vigorous grower, and produces some yellow/gold seedlings. The very wide and deep set veins have a stitched effect. 'Hot Air Balloon' is fertile and passes gold on. Very nice giant hosta that seems to float in air. The huge leaves on this hosta are an apple green and slightly folded. Can handle quite a bit of sun which will make the leaves more gold. Lavender flowers in summer. |
