Descriptions (from various sources):
Also H. longipes Aurea Golden Dwarf.
8" tall. Light Shade.
Lemon yellow leaves. Dark scapes and purple petioles.
This highly sought after hosta is essentially a golden H. Tardiflora. The narrow lance shaped leaves of chartreuse gold make a perfectly proportioned small clump to 10" wide. In addition, the dark purple coloration on the base of the petioles extends into the back of the leaf. In very late summer, the clump is topped with lavender flowers on 12" scapes.
Forms a small mound of narrow, lance-shaped, yellow leaves with a long twisting tip. Lavender flowers in late summer.
