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 |

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 |
