The BIG small one

Post by Willowy »

Here is a couple pictures of the Hyuga Urajiro - a little bigger plant than most others are growing. Now that it as settled into my garden, it will be interesting to see how large it is next season...

That is a neat looking hosta, like the difference in the leaves. It will be interesting to see how it does next year. I haven't seen that one before.

Hard to tell the size/scale from the picture. Is it really that much bigger than others?

I do like the late blooms on this one :)

I can only go by what others have told me as this is the first Hyuga Urajiro I have owned....however I just went out and measured a few leaves. There are three large leaves that measure about:

Length 9.5" X 2.125"

How does that compare to yours Chris?

Well that a lot larger then mine about 4" long by 1/2" wide, yet it's a second year TC. Also is your in a very sunny place? As mine is still mostly blue, green, yellow and white streaks.

Here's a picture but sorry not the best photo:
