It is a reverse-coloured sport of Hosta 'Abby', prized for its rapid growth and tidy mounding habit. The heart-shaped leaves carry a luminous chartreuse-yellow centre framed by a crisp dark green margin. That centre brightens to golden-yellow as the season matures, holding sharp contrast until the first autumn frost. It thrives across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9 with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVibrant Reverse Variegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e A luminous chartreuse-to-gold centre is cleanly edged by a narrow, dark green margin that sharpens as the season progresses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Growth \u0026amp; Multiplier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishes a lush, weed-suppressing clump quickly, making it ideal for mass planting or container use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProminent Veining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deeply impressed veins add fine textural detail to the heart-shaped leaves throughout the growing season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDainty Summer Blooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sturdy scapes carry bell-shaped lavender flowers in midsummer, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Architectural Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stays low at approximately 33 cm (13″), making it a perfect edger or container specimen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 cm × 77 cm (13″ × 30″)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChartreuse to gold centre, dark green margin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial to full shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Site Amy Elizabeth where it receives dappled morning sun to keep the golden centre at its brightest — too much deep shade may hold the colour at chartreuse. It handles Canadian winters reliably from Zone 3 through 9, and we grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC until the reverse variegation is stable and vibrant. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Amy Elizabeth, verified before it leaves Bécancour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosta Choice Gardens | Canada","offers":[{"title":"4.7\" pot (2nd year plants)","offer_id":46675968426236,"sku":"AE-1335-4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Trade 1 gallon","offer_id":47757780943100,"sku":"AE-1335-1G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8249\/6764\/files\/hosta-amy-elizabeth-hosta-clump-jpg.jpg?v=1744909519","url":"https:\/\/www.hostachoicegardens.ca\/en-ca\/products\/hosta-amy-elizabeth-gold-centre-green-margin-zilis","provider":"Hosta Choice Gardens ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
