Hosta Big Daddy is a large and dramatic perennial plant, commonly known as the ‘Plantain Lily’. It is prized for its massive, heart-shaped leaves that are a stunning blue-green colour and heavily corrugated for added texture.

This Hosta grows in dense clumps, reaching a height and width of up to 1 metre, making it perfect for use as a focal point in your garden or as a backdrop for smaller plants. This plant is shade-tolerant and grows best in moist, well-drained soil.

This plant is low-maintenance and easy to care for. It should be watered regularly and fertilised in the Spring and Summer. It is also resistant to most pests and diseases, but it is important to monitor for slugs and snails, as they can damage the leaves.

In the late summer, Hosta Big Daddy produces spikes of fragrant, pale lavender flowers, adding an extra touch of beauty to your garden. This plant is also attractive to butterflies, making it a great choice for a wildlife-friendly garden.

Overall, Hosta Big Daddy is an excellent choice for any gardener looking for a stunning and low-maintenance perennial plant. Its large size and blue-green leaves make it a standout in any garden, and its easy care requirements make it a popular choice for gardeners of all levels.
