Overview
Registered in 2009, Hosta 'Aomori Gold' is a small-sized sport of an unnamed parent, distinguished by its green leaves with pale yellow margins. The ovate leaves, measuring 6 inches (15.2 cm) long and 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide, have a slightly shiny upper surface and a very shiny underside, with 7 to 8 vein pairs and a rounded base.
In the Garden
With a mature diameter of 28 inches (71.1 cm) and height of 14 inches (35.6 cm), this cultivar forms an upright, moderate-growing clump suitable for the front of a shade border or woodland garden. Its small size makes it an excellent candidate for containers, where the pale yellow margins contrast well with darker green companions such as ferns or Heuchera. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for hostas.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, applying a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur and should be monitored.
