Hosta 'Sun Power'

This dramatic gold hosta was registered by Paul Aden in 1986 as a cross between two seedling plants. It is a large size (28 inches high) plant that is often used effectively as a specimen. The foliage is slightly corrugated and curved at the tip with good substance. Its flowers are pale lavender and born in July on tall scapes.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Since its introduction in the mid-1980s, 'Sun Power' has achieved widespread popularity and is now one of the most recognized cultivars. Though its reputation as a sun-tolerant hosta has been much exaggerated, 'Sun Power' offers distinctive, bright gold foliage. A properly placed single specimen will be attention-getting."
