Hosta T-Rex

Hosta T-Rex lives up to its name, offering colossal, heart-shaped leaves that make a bold statement in any shaded garden space. This extraordinary variety is celebrated for its oversized foliage, which can span nearly 60 cm across when fully grown, creating an impressive display of lush greenery. The leaves are a rich, deep green with a subtle texture, lending a timeless elegance to borders, woodland gardens, or shaded corners.

Reaching a height of approximately 90 cm with a similar spread, Hosta T-Rex is among the largest hostas available, making it an excellent choice for creating dramatic focal points in shaded areas. This impressive variety features broad, deep green, textured leaves that lend a bold, architectural quality to the garden. In mid to late summer, it produces elegant pale lavender flowers on tall, slender spikes, adding vertical interest and a soft contrast to its expansive foliage. While Hosta T-Rex takes a little time to reach its full majestic size, you can still expect an impressive display of large leaves in its first growing season.

What sets Hosta T-Rex apart from other large hostas is its ability to hold its form and colour throughout the growing season. Its sturdy leaves are not only visually striking but also more resistant to slug damage compared to other varieties. This robust nature makes it a favourite among gardeners seeking a reliable yet eye-catching plant.
