Info | Rare bright gold cup. Small mound of gold foliage that is highly cupped and puckered. Considered by many to be one of, if not the best of the small gold hostas. Lavender flowers in July. A 'Frances Williams' by 'August Moon' cross. Great pot plant that shines. A small hosta with perfectly displayed gold leaves. Leaves are bright gold, rounded and cupped, held upright and nicely puckered. A sturdy hosta and great to look at too! The leathery medium yellow leaves are rounded, cupped and heavily puckered. Medium violet flowers on 18" scapes above this smallish clump. |
