Hosta 'Kifukurin Renge'

 
The specimen above is incorrectly labeled 'Kifuruin Renge' with a missing "k".

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "H. 'Kifukurin Renge' = H. 'Fortunei Aureomarginata'."

Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled, A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term kifukurin or ki fukurin as yellow edge(d) or yellow margin(ed) and the term renge as lotus, 'Renge Gibōshi' or H. 'Fortunei'.
