An article about H. 'Semperaurea' by W. George Schmid in
The
Hosta Journal (1985 Vol. 16) states that, "Through the
kind cooperation of Mrs.
Ursula Syre-Herz of Coastal Gardens and Nursery in
Myrtle Beach, SC, I was able to obtain all of the pertinent information from
three of
Foerster's books in her
possession. All of the Books mention 'Dauergoldfunkie',
the German name for H. '
Semperaurea'...Foerster's books were
published before 1959, and thus the
Latin cultivar name 'Semperaurea' is
permissible under the Cultivated Code."
