Hosta 'Cowboy Up'
 

Registered by Franc Freeman of Iowa in 2011, this fast growing cultivar is of unidentified parentage. It is a very upright growing hosta of giant size about 30 inches high by 19 inches in width. The medium green foliage is lightly cupped, slightly flat, broadly ovate and very shiny on top. Tubular flowers bloom from mid-July into August on scapes up to 22 inches tall.
 

We wonder if the registration information is correct on this one. It says, "Plant: 19 in. (48 cm) diameter, 30 in. (76 cm) high; upright; fast." and "Scape: 20 to 22 in. (51 cm) long; green." If the information is correct, the flowers bloom 8 to 10 inches below the foliage...very strange. It is probably really a large size plant 19 inches tall by 30 inches wide...just our guess, however.
