Details
One of the approximately 40 species hostas. Dark green, elongated heart-shaped leaves with prominent veins. The leaves are quite large and are held in an arching manner, forming a beautiful, dome-shaped plant. Pale lavender flowers. Known as 'Oba Giboshi' or "Large-leaved Hosta" in Japan. One of the most common species. H. longipes, H. kikutii and H. montana cultivars and all of their variants and hybrids would be good choices to survive extremely dry and hot conditons.
