Reaching a mature diameter of 34 inches (86.4 cm) and height of 24 inches (61.0 cm), this plant forms a substantial, semi-upright clump. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and its gold-margined foliage provides contrast when paired with green or chartreuse companions such as ferns or Heuchera. The tall scapes, reaching 42 to 48 inches (106.7 to 121.9 cm), bear green flowers in summer.
