Hosta "Taurus" review
A home grown Iowa introduction from Jim Husemann of Asbury, Iowa. Stout and strong like its mythical namesake, the petioles hold the plant in a very upright manner. Like its parent, 'Rosedale Black Hole', the round, deeply cupped leaves show intense puckering and exceptionally heavy substance. Slightly smaller, more deeply cupped, and better blue color than its parent.
