About Shadowland Gigantosaurus

A massive, mounding plant with corrugated blue leaves and yellow margins that become cream in summer, just as its pale lavender flowers appear. Emerges early. A cross between a streaked sport of Empress Wu and Blueberry Muffin.

The dinosaur’s name is spelled "Giganotosaurus."

About Hosta

Hostas are shade-tolerant, but grow best with full morning sun in northern climates. Most are mounding. Some characteristics described do not show up until the plant is a few years old, so younger plants may not express them at the time of purchase. See more on growing hostas and Hosta Virus X and an additional hosta in Unusual & Rare Plants.
