Hosta Age of Gold will grow to a height of 26"-30" with a spread of approximately 80" at maturity. The leaves are golden yellow, broadly ovate, flat at the margins, and slightly shiny on top. This Hosta has an upright spreading habit and large smooth leaves suitable for shaded areas. Near white flowers bloom from July into August on scapes up to 50" tall, followed by viable seeds in golden pods. The flowers have a very faint pale lavender central pattern on the interior petals. To achieve the best yellow colour, plant in morning sun or filtered shade. This variety is slug-resistant until later in the season.
