This
non-registered
Paul Aden introduction is a
clone of
H. 'Tokudama'.
This medium (19 inches high)
sized hosta has a gold center with blue green margins. It has a thick
substance, is moderately corrugated and has a slight blue bloom on the leaf underside. The near
white flowers are borne in clusters in late June to mid July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Some collectors have speculated that 'Bright
Lights' is the
reversed sport of 'Tokudama
Flavocircinalis', but
I've never been able to confirm this."

and
H. 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa'.
Sports include H. 'Heat Wave'.
