If your shade garden needs a true showstopper, Shadowland® Giant Humungosaurus Hosta answers the call in epic fashion. This colossal selection forms an awe-inspiring mound of elongated, heart-shaped leaves that glow in rich golden-yellow tones. Emerging chartreuse in spring, the foliage matures to luminous gold, while deeply impressed veins add dramatic texture and depth that demand attention from across the garden.
Shadowland® Giant Humungosaurus Hosta isn't just big—it's commanding. Its massive leaves effortlessly cover fading bulb foliage and create a bold architectural presence along the back of shade borders or as a stand-alone focal point. In early summer, pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage, adding a soft contrast to its powerful form.
This variety delivers more than size alone. Bred for exceptional garden performance, it offers strong leaf substance, long-lasting visual appeal, and resilience across a wide range of growing zones. Whether planted in mass for jaw-dropping effect or used as a single specimen, Shadowland® Giant Humungosaurus Hosta brings prehistoric proportions and unforgettable drama to shaded landscapes.
