Quick Overview:

Hosta ‘Komodo Dragon’ is an introduction from the late Mildred Seaver that makes a stunner of a clump! The heavily-rippled, dark green, pointed leaves stretch outward to form an impressive, upright, 7′ wide Hosta fluctuans-like clump. Don’t plant Hosta ‘Komodo Dragon’ unless you have plenty of room. The giant clumps are laden with light lavender flowers on 4′ tall scapes in midsummer.

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.
