Product Description
(Mature Size: 48"T x 70"W)
- Hosta 'Empress Wu' is a seedling of 'Big John' that is colossal in size.
- This semi-upright grower forms an impressive mound of thick, corrugated green leaves.
- Leaves have a glaucous coating in spring giving a blue-green appearance.
- The wavy green leaves of 'Empress Wu' are said to be the biggest hosta leaves ever!
- Can grow bigger than listed size if in ideal location of fertile soil with good moisture retention.
- If grown in poor soil expect a clump 30"T x 50"W.
- Be patient with this hosta. It gets big but not overnight. Will take 5 to 8 years to reach a mature size.
- Very pale lavender flowers appear in mid-summer.
- We have a cream-margined sport of 'Empress Wu' called 'Wu-La-la' that has the same size with a more colorful leaf!
Why Should I Grow It? You want the biggest hosta in the neighborhood to show it off!
