Hosta
'Mellow Yellow'

 

Originated by Dr. Ralph (Herb) and Dorothy Benedict of Michigan and registered on their behalf by Rod Kuenster and The American Hosta Society in 2010, this cultivar is of unidentified parentage.

It is a large size hosta about 18 inches high by 26 inches wide with golden yellow foliage. The nearly round foliage is slightly cupped, slightly folded and heavily corrugated. Near white flowers bloom from July into August on scapes 24 to 30 inches tall followed by viable seeds.

The registration materials state: "...yellow with heavy corrugation and deep veining

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...H. 'Sieboldiana' in its background. Unfortunately, it does develop some spring desiccation burn."
