This hosta is a bit of a 'changeling' with leaves emerging in the spring entirely green, quickly turning to a bright pineapple yellow edged with a thin margin of darkest green! Leaves are elongated with wavy edges and form clumps of about 18" tall, eventually 3-4 feet wide. Nice lavender flowers top the plants in summer. No self respecting hosta collector should be without this one…and if you only have one hosta, this should be the ONE!
