Hosta Little Black Scape Rabbit Resistant Plants Giant Joe-Pye weed bursts fromOur 1995 introduction is an open pollinated seedling from the giant H. 'Sum and Substance'. The 5" wide, heart shaped leaves emerge dull green and soon change to a nice chartreuse gold. About this time, jet black scapes emerge that contrast well with the foliage. The 2' wide clumps are topped with 22" tall, medium lavender flowers. We find that the foliage and scape coloration is best in more sun especially morning sun.
