This seedling of H. 'Fortunei
Aurea' was registered by the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society (BHHS) on behalf of English hybridizer,
Eric Smith
in 1988. It is gold colored in the spring when it first emerges
but changes to pale green as the season progresses. This large sized
(20 inches high) hosta bears pale lavender flowers in mid July to
August.
The Hosta Handbook by
Mark Zilis (2000), says that it is "...sometimes listed as 'Golden
Haze'."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Goldsmith'.
