Glad Rags

Hosta Glad Rags will create a well established clump measuring about 20″ across and 14″ tall, with a somewhat vaselike form, especially on younger plants. Leaves are semi-cupped, about 4″ x 6″ and often crinkled with age. Substance is very heavy. Consequently, ‘Glad Rags’ takes a good deal of sun here without complaint. Shade produces a chartreuse-gold border; semi-shade produces a clean, bright gold border; stronger sun ultimately transitions chartreuse to gold to ivory. The gold borders are extra wide, encasing an irregular swath of green center. The pattern is repeated on every leaf; yet no two leaves are exactly the same.
