InfoHosta of the Year for 2020 (HOTY).
Exceptional piecrusted edge on a large yellow hosta.
Wonderful introduction from Kent Terpening, large yellow hosta with an exceptional pie-crusted edge.
H. 'Dancing Queen' starts out a bright yellow and maintains good color and then turns a very pale yellow late in the season.
Topped with pale lavender flowers in midsummer.
