Mr Big has been growing

Mr Big was purchased from Hallson's in 2004 and has put on some pretty good growth. It didn't hurt that he started off with big, healthy roots.

Now, that is pretty impressive!

Mr. Big must be very happy in your garden! Thanks for the pictures.

Wow! Mr. Big certainly has grown! Very nice looking hosta you got there.

Roxanne & Joan, thank you for the comments.

2004 was my first year for buying mail-order Hostas; the Fall of 2003 was when I first noticed there were different Hostas and they looked cool. So, I wanted to get some large Hostas early since it takes so many years for them to actually get large and Mr Big fit the bill for being large. I have been impressed with the growth rate on Mr Big, and, like I said, Mr Big got a good start with Hallson's sending a Hosta with huge roots.

That's really off to a good start! I got mine the same year from Chris and Brian. I didn't get any pics of it this year, but it must be pretty close to that big. I just hope I gave it enough room.
