Regarded as one of the best small, golden hostas, Hosta 'Maui Buttercups' (Plantain Lily) forms a sturdy, bright golden-yellow mound of rounded, deeply cupped and corrugated leaves. Thick and heavy, the foliage demonstrates good slug resistance. Near white lily-like flowers appear in midsummer, rising on scapes 18 in. long (45 cm). The compact size of this Hosta makes it suitable for containers or tubs.
