This is one of those cases where there are two hostas with the same name. One is registered and, therefore, the "official" version of H. 'Gold Coast' while the other is a non-registered plant and needs to be renamed to avoid further confusion.

Pauline Banyai of Michigan registered this cultivar of unidentified parentage in 1986. It is a medium size plant with chartreuse to gold colored foliage that is heavily corrugated. The white flowers bloom from mid-July into August.

Hosta Helper will call this plant 'Gold Coast' (Banyai).

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...Russ O'Harra had introduced, but did not register, another 'Gold Coast'. That plant became 'Claire de Lune'."

Hosta Helper will call this plant 'Gold Coast' (O'Harra).
