Hosta 'Touch of Class' ®

This is the first in a series of intentional Hosta conversions from diploid to tetraploid. H. ’Touch of Class’ comes from the popular H. ’June’. The central pattern of the doubly thick leaves is chartreuse-gold, surrounded by a very wide, blue-green border. A green pattern occurs where the gold and blue overlap.  The leaves have an incredible thick substance and are held more upright than ’June’.
In comparison to H. ’June’, H. ’Touch of Class’ is more intensely and more dramatically colored.
