'Gold Drop' is a small hosta, 8-12 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide. The leaves are a brilliant, luminous gold—heart-shaped and slightly cupped. The color holds well through summer with some morning sun. Good substance for a gold hosta. Pale lavender flowers on 18-inch scapes in mid-summer.
Culture: part shade (morning sun essential for gold color), moist well-drained soil. The gold color is the star. Divide in spring or fall. 'Gold Drop' sprinkles liquid gold through the shade garden.
