Info | ='Mr. Big'. Should be 'Mr Big', period not applied to word contractions. Move over, 'Sum and Substance', here comes 'MR. BIG!' Monster genes from H. montana and big-big blue forms, this one took the cake at our tour last year at Walden West. As the picture illustrates, this mammoth dwarfs even mountain-man Jay. Leaves are seersuckered and have great substance. You want it big . . . you got it! This one gets huge! It's heritage is found in H. montana and big-big blue forms. The leaves are a dark blue-green, very seersuckered and have tremendous substance. H. 'Mr.Big' may rival H. 'Sum and Substance' in size . See if you can grow it bigger. |
