Hosta "Tokudama Aureonebulosa" review
'Akebono'. 'Tokudama Akebono'. Blue/green flushed with yellow streaks. Leaves are round and puckered. An absolutely stunning plant. No hosta garden is complete without at least one specimen. Blue green leaves with a golden cloud type variegation. Leaf margins are irregular white, blue and green. Cupped, seersuckered and sometimes puckered. White flowers in early July. Slug resistant. An exceptionally beautiful hosta. Brilliant gold, blue margins. 50-90% shade. Cupped, blue-green margined leaves with a yellow center. The cupped and heavily puckered leaves have a blue-green margin handsomely flushed with yellow. Near white flowers on 24" scapes from mid-June through July. Slow grower. Top choice. 1988 Alex J. Summers Award (Mildred Seaver). Medium size, rounded cupped leaves, center streaked and mottled in yellow, widely margined in green. White flowers, slow grower, classic.
