Hosta ‘Tokudama Aureonebulosa’
The Tokudama Aureonebulosa hosta has chartreuse leaves and wide, blue-green margins. In sunnier areas, the chartreuse becomes more golden. The thick leaves are cupped and very corrugated. This slow-growing hosta has dense clusters of flowers that bloom in early July and produces many seed pods. I have had interesting results with Tokudama Aureonebulosa seedlings… a few have been variegated, but most have been gold or blue, and all have thick, corrugated leaves and grow very slowly. My husband found this hosta in a local nursery and bought it for me because he recognized the name as one I had wanted, but it wasn’t in a very good condition and had a very small root system, and it has taken several years for it to take hold and finally begin to thrive. As you can see in these photos, this year all of the hostas in this garden have been bombarded with locust petals and just recently a coating of pine pollen mixed with rain.
