Hosta ‘Gentle Giant’
Plant number: 1.700.620
Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. The outstanding specimen is large with an upright habit. Leaves are blue-green and corrugated, cupped, and twisted. Lavender flowers in summer. Good slug-resistance. Also good for planting in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. Easily divided in either spring or fall, but plants may be left alone for years.
