Hosta 'Ohh! Clare'
 

Registered by Ed Schulz of Iowa in 2016, this large size (23 inches high by 28 inches wide) cultivar is of unidentified parentage. The foliage is pale yellow, slightly rippled, broadly ovate, slightly corrugated and dull on top. Tubular flowers bloom from mid-July into August on scapes up to 32 inches tall.

The registration materials state: "Leaf presentation, mound shape and pale yellow color when mature...Starts out greenish-yellow, then turns pale yellow..."

An article in The Hosta Journal, (2017 Vol. 48 No 1), says that the Ohh! stands for Old Home Hostas and Clare is a shortened version of the name Eau Clare which is a small town in Iowa.
