InfoA monster of a plant 32" high x 52" wide. Upright and fast growing with 17"long X 14" wide leaves, medium green with a 2" rippled gold margin.
By Jack Dreessen of Bettendorf, Iowa.
A sensation during the 1996 Midwest Regional Hosta Convention.
One of the earliest sports of the huge old classic 'Sum and Substance', 'Tiffney's Godzilla' grows into a huge clump bigger than the plant it sported from. Deep green centers are surrounded by a narrow edge of chartreuse on leaves that can exceed two feet in diameter.
