giant purple hostas?
I was driving by a house with a deeply shaded front lawn and saw a
variety of hostas/ferns/etc. One plant stood out- it looked like a giant hosta but with more rounded deep purple leaves. Could anyone suggest what this plant is? TIA |

I bet it was a Canna.

One of the colorful cultivars of Bergenia cordifolia or B. purpurascens? http://depts.washington.edu/wpa/image/berg.jpg http://www.bethchatto.co.uk/plant%20...rpurascens%20h elen%20dillion%20form%20(winter).html -- Pat K.

Thanks for the guesses. What the heck- I drove back over there and
knocked on the door. It was ligularia. Something like this: http://www.ljono.no/Bilete/Ligularia_The_Rocket_THL.jpg |
