Laura Lanier Hosta – Greenish gold leaves with a variable 3/8″ dark green margin and sterile pale lavender flowers in mid-July. It is a rapid grower. 2002 registration. Leaves emerge in spring with a bloom on both surfaces. The bloom on the top surface dissolves by mid-June and becomes very shiny until frost. The color intensifies as the season progresses. It is a sport of ‘Sea Yellow Sunrise’.
