Hosta 'Jurassic Park'

Here’s a plant which will take your garden back a few million years—it’s huge and lush, leafy and prehistoric-looking Hosta 'Jurassic Park'. Forming a rosette of paddle-sized leaves and growing up to 1.2m tall and wide, this is a beast of a hosta which will fill a fair-sized gap in a shady border with very little fuss. Alternatively, raise this giant monumental hosta up off the ground by giving it a space in a planter or large container of its own. The slightly cloudy coating on those gorgeously ribbed leaves gives Hosta 'Jurassic Park' a pearlescent glow which helps to illuminate the space.   

You can turn a shady corner of the garden into a tranquil space to relax in summer by including a good selection of lush plants like Hosta 'Jurassic Park'. Every year, this hardy hosta will grow back to bring you another long season of impressive, Jurassic-looking greenery. Plant Hosta 'Jurassic Park' with other plantain lilies to add variety, or even shade-loving flowering perennials like Astilbe to introduce colour to your leafy oasis.  This perennial naturally dies back for winter dormancy, then grows back again the following spring.
