Hosta 'Big Boss Man'

 

Originated by Chick Wasitis of Bridgewood Gardens from Maryland, this cultivar was registered in 2021 as being of unidentified parentage.  It is a medium to large size (19 inches high by 35 inches wide) hosta with  medium blue-green foliage that has a pale yellow marginal variegation. The broadly ovate leaves are moderately wavy .

It bears near white, tubular flowers with pale lavender stripes on dark red scapes from June into July and sets seed but their viability was not known at the time of registration.

According to the Registration materials: "Upright with heart-shaped, moderately wavy blue leaves and light yellow margins."

Big Boss Man is a "Funk, Soul and Rock & Roll" band and there is also a wrestler by that name, but this is probably part of Chick's rock and roll series of hostas.
