Hosta 'Excitation'

Paul Aden registered this sport of H. 'Citation' in 1988. This cultivar forms a medium sized (17 inches high) mound of foliage with a slightly lobed base, slight corrugation, slightly wavy and with a distinct tip. The leaves change from chartreuse to light green as the season progresses. From mid July to August, it produces very pale lavender flowers on 24 inch high scapes.

Similar cultivars include H. 'Fortunei Aurea'.

Sports include H. 'Exultation' and H. 'Ian Winslow'.
