The
American Hosta
Society originally registered this
Japanese plant as Hosta tokudoma
'Aureo-nebulosa in 1987. As with several other forms of hosta,
The Genus Hosta by G. Schmid
(1991) determined that it was actually a cultivar and not a
species and gave it the current name of Hosta 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa'.
This medium sized (16 inches high) hosta has a goldish center with dark blue
margins. The leaves are oblong to ovate, cupped, wavy and
heavily corrugated. Its thick leaf substance makes it resistant to slugs.
This plant has near white flowers that bloom in late June into
July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "What a plant! Despite its slow
growth rate, 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa' ranks highly for its
interesting, multi-colored foliage that is also very slug
resistant."
