Shadowland^® 'Coast to Coast' Hosta hybrid

LEAVES grow out YELLOW, NOT bright GREEN...I had seen this Hosta in Laura's garden on Garden Answer and was looking forward to the bright chartreuse green of the leaves. After planting it in the spring, I was disappointed to see the leaves turn yellow after they got about 4 1/2 inches long. I have Chocolate Covered Cherry Coleus planted around the Hosta. Their color is bright and beautiful. They have the same needs as the Hosta and get the same amount of morning sun, water and fertilizer. In hindsight, I am looking very carefully at the pictures on Proven Winners website and where there are other plants with the Hosta in the pictures, I can see how the other plants are a dark green. But to me, this just makes the Hosta look like it is a bright green (not yellow) in contrast. (I realize colors can look different on computer screens than what is in real life.) Also in hindsight, I am carefully reading the description of the plant. It says the foliage colors are "yellow" and the foliage shade is "gold." It also talks about "GOLD leaves with wavy edges” and how the “GOLD coloring becomes brighter in morning sun" (emphasis added). In my experience, the leaves are a plain, almost sickly, yellow, especially with the contrast of the newly emerging bright green leaves. In hindsight (again) I searched Garden Answer and, in her April 30, 2019, YouTube video called "Planting Coast to Coast Hostas!" Laura talks about the gold color of the leaves, but they look bright green to me. Because this plant did not grow as it had been presented, I wanted to give it a one star-rating, but I take responsibility for not paying better attention to the Proven Winners description, so I am upping it to a four-star rating. I hope this review helps others find the plant that will work for them or avoid a plant that will not work for them.
