Hosta 'Granny's Goosebumps'

The fascinating Hosta 'Granny's Goosebumps' delivers an absolute masterclass in rich, tactile leaf sculpture, standing out as a premier oddity for discerning woodland foliage collectors. This remarkable selection constructs a compact, densely packed mound of broadly ovate leaves that showcase an unrivaled level of dramatic texture. The entire surface of the thick, dark emerald-green foliage is completely covered in deep, intense puckers and pronounced, blistered knobs—resembling a severe case of goosebumps—that capture and refract dappled sunlight beautifully. Possessing an incredibly heavy substance that guarantees near-perfect immunity to hungry slugs, this structural perennial elevates short scapes carrying clusters of soft lavender, trumpet-shaped flowers in midsummer.

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
