Hosta "Rascal" review
18" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade. Green edged sport of 'Gold Regal.' A plant that stands out and makes quite a show. Medium lavender flowers in June. Named for Alex Summers' dog, this new sport of Hosta 'Gold Regal' features the same vase-like shape, but each chartreuse gold leaf is surrounded by a subtle green border that becomes more pronounced later in the season... a SPECTACULAR 30" wide clump! The pale lavender flowers are held atop a 3' scape in early summer. A Hosta 'Gold Regal' mutation, yellow center w/chartreuse margin; lavender flowers. A sport of 'Gold Regal' with chartreuse margins and a gold center. The contrast is subtle but increases during the season and is greater in brighter light. Medium, light yellow leaves, with irregular chartreuse margins, many lavendar flowers in July.
