MyHostas Database website.
Originated by
Shady Characters Nursery of South Carolina, this non-registered cultivar is of unidentified parentage but has H. 'Ogon
Koba' in its background. It is a fast growing, small
size hosta with yellow foliage that turns lighter as the
season progresses. The leaves are lanceolate in shape
and have a very wide petiole.

A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term koba as small leaf,
'Koba Gibōshi' or
H. sieboldii and the term ogon or oogon as gold or yellow. |
