Hosta 'Xanadu Paisley'

 

A sport of H. 'August Moon', this cultivar was registered by Virginia and Brian Skaggs in 2000. The foliage is gold with large green splotches along the veins. It grows into about 16 inches in height by 36 inches wide. The foliage is moderately corrugated and a bit unruly. It bears pale lavender flowers from mid-July into August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Viewing 'Xanadu Paisley' for the first time leaves one feeling that he or she has just seen a prime example of Hosta Virus X... Though Brian reported that 'Xanadu Paisley' has tested negative for HVX several times...there is still some debate about this among hosta collectors."
