Monrovia® T Rex Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage. The huge 1.5 foot green basal leaves are deeply veined with a slight wave and corrugation. Small bell-like white flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
