Hosta - Big Daddy
The Hosta Big Daddy, Hosta 'Big Daddy', is a large selection that has huge, frosty blue leaves that are cupped and heavily quilted. The pale lavender flowers come on in July, however, hostas are not known only for their flowers. Hostas provide bright color in shade with wonderful foliage and ‘Big Daddy’ is no exception! Hosta ‘Big Daddy’ needs to be planted in a full shade area in any moist, well-drained spot and has good slug resistance.  This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and is one of the most popular landscape plants. A great choice for any beginner gardener! This blue-leaved plant is a standout in any garden area.  With unbeatable curb appeal, ‘Big Daddy’ is eye catching and appealing.  The beautiful pale lavender flowers appear in mid to late summer and attract hummingbirds.    Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.  Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! You will be very pleased with the frosty blue foliage, large size, and easy care of ‘Big Daddy’! * Low maintenance * Slug resistant * Large hosta
