Hosta 'Komodo Dragon' is an introduction from the late Mildred Seaver that makes a stunner of a clump! The heavily-rippled, dark green, pointed leaves stretch outward to form an impressive, upright, 7' wide Hosta fluctuans-like clump. Don't plant Hosta 'Komodo Dragon' unless you have plenty of room. The giant clumps are laden with light lavender flowers on 4' tall scapes in midsummer...a hummingbird magnet.
