HOSTA - PLANTAIN LILY / BACK TO PERENNIALS

Hosta 'Big Daddy'

Huge, glaucous blue, quilted leaves. Ice white flowers on 3’ stems in July. 25" x 66" mound. Slug resistant foliage.

Hosta 'Blue Ivory'

This sport of H. ‘Halcyon’ produces medium-sized mounds with thick, spade-shaped, glaucous leaves that have a very wide, white margin. With summer, the center deepens in color creating a striking, high contrast display. An added bonus is that the thickness of the leaves makes it more resistant to slugs. Pale lavender flowers bloom on 20-24” scapes in July. Grows 16” tall and 30” wide.

Hosta 'Grand Marquee'

This sport of Hosta tokudama 'Mrs. Carder' has nearly round, glaucous, cupped leaves at maturity, with middle creamy white striping in spring, turning pure white by summer. 10-18" tall.
