Hosta rectifolia 'Kinbuchi Tachi'

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Hosta rectifolia 'Aureo-marginata' = Hosta rectifolia 'Kinbuchi Tachi'."

This Hosta rectifolia sport from Japan was registered by Peter Ruh in 2002. It forms a large mound up to 2 feet tall by 32 inches wide. The foliage has a slightly wavy margin and smooth texture. Bright purple flowers bloom in mid August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...a vastly underrated Japanese hosta. It makes a striking mound of foliage that is nearly upright in character, and its flowering habits are highly ornamental. The name, however, represents more than one plant."

Seedlings include H. 'Pink Lemonade'.
