‘Rainforest Sunrise’ is an exciting sport of Hosta ‘Maui Buttercups’ with leaves a solid light green when they emerge but quickly developing dramatic dark green borders and radiant gold centres. The leaves are thick and glossy, holding up well all season, and are also slug resistant. Light lavender flowers are produced on 24 inch scapes in midsummer. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
