'High Noon'. Solberg captured the golden vigour of that celebrated parent and refined it with a slightly blue-green, slightly rippled margin that frames the glowing centre with cool precision. The broad, slightly shiny golden yellow leaves carry 12–13 vein pairs and a glaucous bloom underneath, while the glaucous gold scapes rise 91–102 cm (36–40\") above the mound. It performs reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3 through 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich golden yellow — a warm, luminous tone that glows in the dappled light of the shade border and holds its colour through the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMargin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slightly blue-green, slightly rippled margin approximately 2.5 cm (1\") wide — a cool, refined frame that sharpens the contrast with the golden centre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Substance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad ovate leaves 25 cm (10\") long × 20 cm (8\") wide with 12–13 vein pairs, slightly shiny on top and glaucous underneath — substantial and elegant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glaucous gold scapes 91–102 cm (36–40\") tall — among the tallest scapes of any large hosta, adding vertical drama above the mound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near-white tubular blooms in late May through mid-June — an early flowering season that extends the ornamental interest of this cultivar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 cm (22\") tall × 91 cm (36\") wide — a commanding large mound with a moderate growth rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 3–9 — reliably cold-hardy across Canada.\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\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56 cm × 91 cm (22\" × 36\")\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\u003eGolden yellow centre, slightly blue-green margin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Requirements\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 'Five O'Clock Shadow' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and its golden centre brightens beautifully with a touch of morning sun without scorching — a large hosta that rewards a well-chosen site.
