Hosta 'June Dove'
 

 

This cultivar with H. 'Tokudama' in its background was registered by Marge Soules of Indiana in 1999. The large size plant grows to a height of 21 inches with a spread of 50 inches. Its blue-green foliage has a chartreuse colored marginal variegation. The leaves are ovate, moderately corrugated and have thick substance. Near white flowers bloom from late June into July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...is a non-burning, gold edged cultivar that falls halfway between 'Tokudama Flavocircinalis' and 'Frances Williams'."

The reference to "non-burning" relates to a problem called spring desiccation burn. See below for further information.
