Hosta 'Sunlight Child'

A selfed seedling of H. 'Golden Hawk', this cultivar was registered by Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict in 1991. The small mound grows to about 5 inches high with a spread of 15 inches with leaves that have thick substance. It bears purple flowers with red to purple dots on the scapes in August.
