One of the best large blue hostas, Hosta 'Big Daddy' (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming an attractive mound of large, thick, rounded, chalky blue leaves, up to 10 in. long (25 cm), becoming cupped and deeply-puckered when mature. Bell-shaped, near-white blooms appear in summer, rising on blue scapes 24 in. long (60 cm), but the primary contribution of this hosta is its lovely foliage. This cultivar retains its extraordinary blue leaf color in a well-shaded site for most of the season, becoming less blue in brighter light. Very slow-growing, the heavy substance of the leaves helps to make this hosta more slug resistant.
