Fortunei Aureomarginata

Hosta "Fortunei Aureomarginata" review

AGM. Green leaves have a prominent gold edge that holds all year. 25 - 75 % shade. Some years ago this taxon was exported to Japan, cultivated the world over. It is well known to gardeners being probably one of the 5 most common hostas. Unfortunately, this variety is sold under a number of different names (e.g. 'Golden Crown', 'Yellow Edge', and 'Ellerbroek' which actually is a different cultivar). Dark green leaves with rich golden-yellow border. (Plant 24x18) Dark green leaves with a yellow margin.  Lavender flowers. Some might consider this too ordinary for our list, but I'm not convinced that a plant has to scream at you to merit consideration. It has the classic neat, mounded form, with dark green leaves edged in gold. It is a vigorous grower that multiplies quickly, making it ideal for massing. Lavender flowers. Dark green leaves with a stunning golden-yellow border. Lilac flowers on 24" scapes in late July-August. Deep green oval leaves (10"x8") graduate to a fine point. Color is accented by a marked gold edge. A matte sheen and recessed ribs make this hosta beautiful up close or in the back of the garden. Dense mounding habit and stable color in hottest summer. A multitude of garden possibilities from specimen to mass planting. 14"x24". Blooms lavender. Shade to 3/4 sun. Growth rapid. The dark green foliage is set off with a gold border. Lavender flowers. Dark green; pretty yellow edges. Known as gold crown.
