Hosta Yesterdays Memories Manchuria region China Thanks to Bob Snyder forThis 2006 Hans Hansen introduction is a sport from our 1995 introduction, Hosta 'Squash Casserole'. Exhibiting the same amazing vigor of the parent, Hosta 'Yesterday's Memories' forms a 4' wide clump of chartreuse golden leaves surrounded by a contrasting dark green border. The vigorous clumps are topped in midsummer with 20" spikes of light lavender flowers.
