A hard one to describe. Gold with streaky green, puckered center. In sun there is also some green flecking as the center turns whiter. Purple striped flowers.

By: Hoot Owl Hollow Nursery

A hard to find miniature hosta that is popular among collectors. Small gold leaves are flecked and streaked with green, much like the variegation of Hosta 'Spilt Milk'. It will eventually form clumps 10" across and 6" high with lavender flowers on 10" stems in mid summer.
