Luminous Golden Architecture — 2020 Hosta of the Year
Olga Petryszyn registered Hosta 'Coast to Coast' in 2014. It won the 2020 Hosta of the Year award. This giant grows from a cross of Hosta 'Manhattan' and Hosta 'Golden Gate'. It forms a bold, vase-shaped gold mound in dappled shade. Plant it as a focal point in any large Canadian garden.
-
Radiant Seasonal Shift: Large, heart-shaped leaves emerge a vibrant chartreuse-gold in spring, maturing into a luminous, intense gold as the Canadian summer progresses.
-
Substantial Texture: Heavy, thick-substanced foliage is deeply puckered and corrugated with wavy edges, offering a rugged resilience that naturally discourages slugs.
-
Stunning Undersides: Each leaf features a nearly white, glaucous underside that adds a sophisticated layer of visual character when viewed from below its upright canopy.
-
Midsummer Majesty: In July and August, proportionate 91 cm (36") scapes carry dainty spikes of pale violet to lavender tubular flowers just above the golden foliage.

Grower's Tip: Give this hosta morning sun to bring out its best gold colour. We check every plant at our Bécancour, QC fields each spring to make sure it is True to Type before it ships to you.
