Registered in 2013, this mid-sized marvel is a pinnacle of texture, forming a low, wide-spreading mound that looks as though it were fashioned from hammered gold. It is a rugged performer across the Canadian landscape, perfectly suited for the intense seasonal shifts from the wind-swept Prairies to the humid gardens of the St. Lawrence Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeeply Checkered Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves are intensely corrugated and puckered, creating a unique, quilted surface that mimics a mosaic pattern in the light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrilliant Golden Glow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emerging in a vibrant chartreuse, the foliage brightens to a luminous gold, acting as a natural spotlight in darker corners of the yard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Substance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The thick, heavy leaves offer superb resistance to slugs and maintain their integrity through the summer heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpansive Groundcover:\u003c\/strong\u003e With a height of 38 cm (15\") but a massive 107 cm (42\") reach, it creates a dense, architectural skirt around larger blue or green specimens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 cm × 107 cm (15\" × 42\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright chartreuse to vibrant gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial shade to dappled sun\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 To get the most intense gold from your 'Checkered Cab', give it a few hours of morning sun — this variety handles light better than many yellow hostas. Because the specific, intense puckering and golden hue are what define this cultivar, we never ship sight-unseen. We wait for the spring emergence right here in Bécancour to monitor the development of the rugose texture, ensuring your plant is True to Type and ready to shine before it leaves our care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosta Choice Gardens | Canada","offers":[{"title":"Trade 1 gallon","offer_id":46699645796604,"sku":"CC-1542-1G","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.7\" pot","offer_id":46699645829372,"sku":"CC-1542-4","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8249\/6764\/files\/hosta-checkered-cab-leaf-jpg.jpg?v=1776001616","url":"https:\/\/www.hostachoicegardens.ca\/en-ca\/products\/hosta-checkered-cab","provider":"Hosta Choice Gardens ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
