Hosta 'Gentle Giant'

[VL] This stunning plant is a giant, indeed - and a handsome one, at that! Moderately cupped and corrugated leaves are a strong, refreshing shade of blue and are held up off the ground on stout petioles. Hosta 'Gentle Giant' vigorously forms a vase-shaped mound 42" tall and up to 6' across. Extremely fertile, pale lavender flowers hover just above the foliage in early summer.
