    Small – medium, (12″ X 18″) this hosta has bright yellow leaves bordered in chartreuse. It has good substance, strong veination, and makes a tight flashy mound in morning sun. The leaves of this small, but sturdy, bright yellow hosta have light green margins that demand your attention. Somewhat puckered, it is the perfect highlight for the front of the hosta bed
