Quick Overview:

The massive size and leaves of ‘Gigantosaurus’ will have your garden feeling like Jurassic Park. This variety will come roaring to life in early spring as one of the first Hostas to emerge. Large blue leaves have a wavy yellow margin. In summer yellow margins turn to creamy white. Pale lavender flowers first begin appearing in early summer and are held just above the foliage.

Description

Easily grown in evenly moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Best in part shade (some morning sun or sun dappled conditions). Established plants have some tolerance for dry shade (particularly plants with thick leaves), but soils should never be allowed to dry out. Full size and quality form are best achieved with consistent moisture. Water is best applied directly to the soil beneath the leaves. Divide plants as needed in spring or autumn. Division is usually easiest in early spring before the leaves unfurl. Plant in locations protected from wind.
