Misty Gold is a large, eye-catching hosta valued for its distinctive streaked foliage and strong garden presence. Originating from breeder Jim Dishon (1996), this cultivar is especially appealing to collectors and gardeners who enjoy unique, variable foliage.
The leaves display a green base with light gold speckling and streaking, creating a misted, softly blended look that can vary from plant to plant. The foliage features a corrugated texture with rippled margins, adding depth and visual interest throughout the growing season.
This large Montana-type hosta forms an impressive clump and performs best with some sun exposure, which enhances its golden coloration. It is noted for its breeding potential, making it a strong choice for both display gardens and hybridizing programs.
