Hosta 'Drop-Dead Gorgeous' (Plantain Lily) is a huge clump-forming perennial forming an attractive mound of large, ovate, green leaves with brightly contrasting yellow margins. The margins are heavily rippled and give the leaves a lightly wavy effect. Bell-shaped, white flowers appear in midsummer, rising on scapes 28-41 in. tall (70-102 cm), but the primary contribution of this hosta is its lovely variegated foliage. Fast-growing, this giant hosta makes a striking specimen in the shade garden.
