The Canadian invasion has begun! Land of the Giants Hostas, from Jeff Miller in Wisconsin, have crossed the border and taken us as prisoners at Riverbend Gardens. We've always loved big hostas and we have lots of them, but Jeff's cultivars -- like Megaladon, Big Bastard, Aftershock, and Freckles -- aren't just big, they're spectacular. Availability is limited, our prices are excellent against ordering directly from Wisconsin, you won't need a phyto, and you can see the plant before you buy it. Visit us when you can, or send us an email or Facebook message if you're interested in helping these massive, beautiful hostas take over the Great White North. We do offer limited mail order on these plants, but it can be costly based on their size.
Below you'll find pictures and descriptions directly from the Land of the Giants website, used with permission.
