Green Marmalade

Hosta "Green Marmalade" review

Glossy green leaves are irregularly mottled with yellow green which later turns white. Glossy green streaked and edged. Has variegated kids. Unstable breeder. A good breeder from Clarence Owens that grows really well and produces lots of streaked seedlings, including streaked golds... Tall scapes. A very strong-growing streaked breeder from Clarence Owens, this is just the thing if you've been struggling with temperamental streakers that won't grow, won't stay streaked, won't flower or won't set seed. This plant sets plenty, with a good percentage of streaked seedlings which include streaked golds.
