Honey-Gold Warmth

The ovate leaves feature even margins of a warm, honey gold that frame medium green centers. The color is softer and more amber than bright gold—like honey in sunlight. The margins are consistent in width. The foliage has good substance and forms a neat, symmetrical mound. The overall effect is warm and inviting.

Early Warm-Toned Introduction

Registered in 1982, 'Honey Moon' was an early entry in the warm-toned gold-margined category. Anderson's introduction brought a softer, more amber gold to a palette that was then dominated by brighter, cooler golds. It remains a distinctive choice for designers seeking warmth.

Anderson's Sweet Contribution

Anderson's 1982 registration added a romantic, warm-toned cultivar to the hosta world. 'Honey Moon' evokes the sweetness of its name in both color and garden presence.
