Hosta Wind River Gold forms a compact mound reaching approximately 15cm-20cm in height, with a spread of up to 55cm at maturity. The plant features yellow leaves with light ribbing and moderately wrinkled edges. It produces pale purple flowers on long scapes that can grow up to 60cm. This Hosta thrives in semi-shade to full shade environments and provides a low and wide golden colour from spring through autumn. It is known for its rapid growth and the golden leaves, characteristic of this pinwheel-type variety, can tolerate a significant amount of sunlight, which is necessary for optimal colouration.
