Product Description
Details

Hosta 'Valley's Magnum' is a spectacular giant hosta cultivar, introduced by Jeroen Linneman in 2015. This perennial plant originates from a seedling of the famous Hosta 'Empress Wu', inheriting its enormous size and impressive leaf structure. With its massive blue-green leaves that reach up to 47 cm long and 29 cm wide, this hosta creates a bold statement in any shade garden. The leaves are thick, slightly cupped, and have a beautifully wavy margin, giving the plant a robust yet elegant appearance. The underside of the leaves features a striking white color, further enhancing its unique character.

Growing to a height of 100 cm and a width of 120 cm, hosta 'Valley's Magnum' is truly a monster hosta, perfect for lovers of giant hostas. It produces near-white, striped flowers on tall scapes reaching up to 140 cm, blooming from June to July. This hosta is not only a visual centerpiece but also fertile, making it an excellent addition to breeding programs. If you're seeking a hosta that commands attention and adds dramatic flair to your shade garden, hosta 'Valley's Magnum' is the perfect choice.

How to grow hostas

Save light shade to shade place in your garden to plant hostas. Filtered sun is best for the colorful varieties to reach their full color contrast. The green and blue hostas are the most shade-tolerant. Usually the yellow cultivars are the most sun-tolerant. The most dangerous is a direct sunshine, especially hot afternoon sun. This is the most critical where temperatures are high. Variegated varieties, especially those with a lot of white in the leaves, burn very easily. Blue color of leaves turns to green-blue or even fully green with too much direct sun. Plants with thick leaves are better suited for dry soil conditions than thin-leaved ones, but none is able to grow years-long in very dry soil. Plant hostas in moist, humus-rich soil. Water your hostas well immediately as you plant them. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing season. Hostas grow slowly and may take 2 to 5 years to reach their full size, longer for the largest species and cultivars. Reserve a plenty of space in your perennial bed for hostas. Most of them are medium sized or large perennials. Hostas are almost fully disease and pest resistant. The most dangerous injury can by caused by slugs, snails and deers.
