Hosta 'Brutus'

[VL] Hosta hybridizers sometimes end up with unexpected results in their plants and this is a perfect example. From a cross of 'Sea Drift' x H. venusta, Doug ended up with this big, green beast! Broad leaves are nicely ruffled around the edge, while the interior of the leaf is prominently veined and moderately puckered. Hosta 'Brutus' will hold its ground with a menacing, upright mound 36" tall and over 5 feet across! Tall scapes hold fertile purple flowers in mid summer.
