Hosta of the Day - Boyz Toy

Post by redcrx »

Boyz Toy is a small hosta that starts out bright yellow and goes to green later.

Hosta Registry - not registered
MyHostas - http://myhostas.be/db/hostas/Boyz+Toy
Hosta Library - http://www.hostalibrary.org/b/boyztoy.html

I have had this plant since 2010. The database says it's a dwarf but mine has leaves bigger than Blue Mouse Ears.

Here it is in 2012.
