InfoAnother great, large specimen-type plant from "Indiana Bob" (Bob Balitewicz of Westville, Indiana); slug resistant and richly colored.
'Lothar the Giant' This is a new one in the large category, 36" high by 72" with wide, green, heavily textured, 14" long by 10" wide leaves. Its deep dark green; thick substance leaves, and stature make it a great structural element in the garden with textural pizzaz! It blooms near-white flowers in July on three-foot scapes.
