Hosta 'Maya Tritone' is a medium sized plant, emerging bright chartreuse with a thin cream line following along each vein. Gradually the line widens, as the chartreuse area diminishes and an intermediate bright yellow makes the whole plant glow. As the season wears on, some leaves bleach out to a creamy yellow color, others remain tritone, and new leaves continue to emerge chartreuse, and quickly develop the creamy veins. There is some red speckling on the petioles
'Maya Tritone' is a seedling which has exhibited this unusual coloration since sprouting several years ago, and is the most attractive of several seedlings exhbiting both similar and varied unusual coloration. The coloration is stable, with only normal variation caused by varying light exposures.This effect is not caused by ph imbalance or nutrient deficiency, and it is not virused, as per Dr. Ben Lockhart.
