Description

A Golden Glow from the Heart of the Garden

Dick and Jane Ward registered Hosta 'Aladdin’s Lamp' in 1996. It is a medium-to-large gold cultivar with deeply cupped, upright foliage and a glaucous wax coating on both surfaces. Bright white undersides flash as the leaves curve upward toward the plant’s centre, creating a sophisticated matte sheen. It grows at a slow-to-moderate pace, building a dense, corrugated mound that rewards patience with impressive maturity. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9 and pairs beautifully with blue or dark green companion plantings.

Leaf Shape and Texture: Deeply cupped and held upright with moderate corrugation at maturity — high substance that naturally deters pests and holds its architectural form through the full Canadian growing season.
Leaf Colour: Gold with a glaucous wax coating on both surfaces — cool chartreuse in deep shade, transitioning to brilliant glowing gold with a few hours of morning sun; bright white undersides flash as leaves curve upward.
Mature Size: 53 cm high × 119 cm wide (21 in × 47 in) — a broad, commanding mound that anchors a shaded border or stands alone as a luminous specimen planting.
Flowers: Pale lavender blooms on sturdy scapes in midsummer, rising above the cupped golden foliage and attracting local pollinators.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	53 cm × 119 cm (21" × 47")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Gold with glaucous wax; pale lavender flowers
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade; morning sun preferred for best gold

Grower's Tip: Plant 'Aladdin’s Lamp' where you can appreciate the cupping from an angle — the white undersides are its secret weapon for brightening dark corners. Its golden pigment develops best with dappled morning light, and it handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, making it a reliable performer even in Winnipeg’s cold continental winters. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, and our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Aladdin’s Lamp' with confirmed cupping and wax coating, verified before it leaves Bécancour, QC.
