Hosta 'Tasmanian Toad'

Hosta 'Tasmanian Toad'[M] This hybrid of 'Flemish Design' x 'Orange Star' is one of Jeff Moore's favorite tetraploid creations. Hosta 'Tasmanian Toad' has smooth, yellow leaves that are often lightly sprinkled with green flecks. Leaf substance is very good and the growth rate is surprisingly fast for a tetraploid. A cool surprise is that the foliage is a bit translucent you can see the scapes coming from under the leaves! Hosta 'Tasmanian Toad' blooms with fertile,

well-draining location and puts on a dazzling show of color from spring through fall
