  A hybrid of H. 'Ōgon Tsushima' ×  H. yingeri,  this cultivar was registered in 2002 by 
				Bob Solberg of Green Hill Farm  in North Carolina.  The 
large size hosta grows about 18 inches high and 44 inches wide with convexly 
				cupped, slightly corrugated foliage. Its oblong to ovate shaped 
				leaves have flat petioles and average substance. The pale 
				lavender flowers bloom in August followed by viable seeds. 
				
				The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
				Diana 
				Grenfell (2009) states: "A good performer in all regions but needs shade in 
the hottest climates to prevent bleaching out or scorching...The bright yellow 
leaves are at their best in early summer. The flowers are widely spaced down the 
raceme." 
				Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled, 
			
			A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms  defines the term ogon or oogon as gold or yellow.
