Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This stunning, medium sized selection has thick, glowing, golden-yellow-orange centred leaves with contrasting blue-green margins. Pale lavender flowers appear late summer. Tetraploid form of the very popular H.'Orange Marmalade'. Protect from hot afternoon sun.
