Hosta of the Day - Richland Gold's Moonlight

Post by redcrx »

Richland Gold's Moonlight is a sport of Richland Gold. It is very similar to Moonlight.

I have had this plant since 2009. It has been damaged a few times - dug up and almost lost when the sprinkler system was dug-up in 2010 (I had to search through the mud to find the remnants) and in 2011 it was stepped-on by workmen putting on a new roof.

Here are some photos from 2010:

Here is Richland Gold's Moonlight today.
Richland Gold's Moonlight on the left and a bigger Fire Opal on the right. Can you spot the Praying Mantis on the Fire Opal - it's just to the left of the far-right scape.

That's Chris's 'North Wind' on the right - it goes dark this time on season.
