Notes: Small, a standout variety for its unique combination of bright yellow leaves with rich red petioles, better leaf substance and form than other yellow/red Hostas. Yellow leaves are rounded, cupped, corrugated and slightly puckered and grow on upright red petioles, the red creeps up the center vein on most leaves. Striped purple flowers bloom mid summer on very dark purple scapes.
