Hosta 'Big Daddy'

The iconic Hosta 'Big Daddy' commands absolute reverence in the shade garden, celebrated globally as an award-winning cornerstone of large-scale blue perennial design. Registered by Paul Aden, this massive cultivar constructs an impressive, upright mound of broad, heart-shaped leaves coated in a thick, chalky glaucous blue wax. The deeply cupped, heavily puckered foliage boasts exceptional, leathery substance that guarantees superior natural slug resistance while capturing morning dew and dappled light, culminating in midsummer as 30-inch scapes elevate clusters of crisp, near-white bell-shaped blossoms.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
