Swamp Thing

Hosta "Swamp Thing" review

This PDN introduction is a 1993 Hosta yingeri hybrid that forms a 4' wide x 18" tall vigorous clump of very shiny, green leaves, surrounded by a wide, golden yellow border. In mid-June, the clumps are topped with scapes of attractive purple, spider-like flowers. Hosta 'Swamp Thing' has been a real attention getter in our trial bed.
