Very impressive, huge, clump forming, fast growing hosta with grey-green heart-shaped leaves which can reach 45cm (18ins) long. They are thick and deeply veined giving a corrugated effect. The mound of foliage is topped in late June and July with pretty, bell-shaped, pale purple flowers. Considered to be one of the largest hostas in the world, so will make a true feature in your garden.

Hostas make ideal ground cover plants for sun or partial shade and once established can be left undisturbed for years. They thrive in well-drained but moisture retentive soils and this should be enriched with well rotted compost or leaf-mould. The foliage is most attractive and in the summer the plants are crowned with racemes of nodding trumpet-like flowers which are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. They are also good planted in pots and containers. The foliage will die down in the winter then re-shoot in the spring. Height & Spread: 1.5m (5ft).
