‘Empress Wu’ is a GINORMOUS Hosta lily that forms impressive clumps up to an amazing 9 feet wide and 4 feet tall with large blue-green leaves up to 18 inches across! It is the largest Hosta on the market…at least the largest we’ve ever seen…and we’ve seen and grown a lot of Hosta lilies over the years. In summer, light lavender flowers rise above the foliage to 5 feet high. Anyone with some shade and enough space has got to have one of these impressive giants in their garden!
