  A
tissue culture sport of H. 'Maui
Buttercups', this cultivar was registered by
Jim Anderson of Winterberry Farms of Georgia in 2003. It forms a small size (10 inches high by 25 inches wide) plant with near white flowers
in July.
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009) states, "The sharply contrasting variegation of
'Rainforest Sunrise' makes it a standout in the garden and a
popular plant in the nursery trade." Chosen as the 2013
Hosta of the Year by the
American Hosta Growers
Association.
An article in
The
Hosta Journal (2016 Vol. 47 No. 2) states that this also
sold under the Tradename
or Trademark of H. GOLDMINE.

 An article by
Warren I. Pollack in
The
Hosta Journal (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled
Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for
Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas
which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have
indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same
plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary
in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the
casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the
plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations and interpretations. |
