Usually when I visit Roger and Carol (Eastbrook Gardens) I'm all about their daylilies. But last time, when I stopped over on my way home from work, I was completely bowled over by this insane hosta Roger grows named Jurassic Park. What a grand specimen plant! When I took this photo, I placed an oak leaf on the hosta to give you a sense of its size.
Roger planted this hosta in a flower bed and over time has had to move most of what was growing in the near vicinity to make more room for this bruiser. He joked that the entire flower bed may one day belong to Jurassic Park. The leaf substance is so thick that slugs are nonexistent. Mature leaves can measure up to 14" x 16" wide, and the plant itself can grow up to 4 feet tall by 6 feet wide. With abundant watering, this hosta can grow even larger! So, if you happen to have a L.A.R.G.E. space that is screaming 'hosta!' Jurassic Park is the way to go.
Well, okay - yeah, I did manage to look at some daylilies...
