The world's largest Hosta! This astonishing hosta is more like a shrub than a perennial!
It will eventually mature to 4-5' tall and spread to 6-8' wide with huge, deeply-veined, green leaves to 28" long by 25" wide. Leaves emerge blue-green in spring, but lose the waxy coating and blue tint as they mature by summer to matte or slightly shiny green.
In mid-summer it is topped with lavender flowers on stem 5' tall! What a glorious sight in a partly shaded garden!
Tip: Potted dormant perennials can be kept in a well-lit cool/cold area (i.e. garage, shed, even in a protected area outdoors) until ready for spring planting. Do not allow them to completely dry out.

Planted immediately, in a while it has looked OK. The size is far away from giant Hosta, but it was expected, there is a need to wait for 2 - 3 years to see the real result. Expecting that I received the correct kind of Hosta I would mark the overall rating to its highest.Verified Buyer Recommendedlove my empress wu hosta orderBen BaoLocation: Woodbridge VADate: August 19, 2020I received my plants in excellent condition.

The hostas arrived in perfect condition and healthy. They're only a few stems but I expect they'll get better over the next few years. Looking forward to seeing these beauties grow!Recommended3 Total Reviews
