Hosta "Choko Nishiki" review
'Cho-Ko-Nishiki'. The colorful morning sunray hosta. Yellow center with a green margin and stable variegation. A montana derivative. Near white flowers. Similar to 'On Stage' when mature. Emerges in spring golden yellow with a green margin that often streaks into the center. Turns green by midsummer. White center/green edge. Medium to large plant, flowers near white. Sport of a montana Mount Fuji-type (highland form), emerges in spring 2-3 weeks later than montana forms of lower altitudes.
