‘Empress Wu’ is the world’s largest Hosta with huge blue-green, deeply-veined leaves up to two feet long and wide on mounds that can be 4-5 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide! You’re going to need acreage just to plant one! Or imagine planting it in a huge focal point container. Pale lavender flowers appear just above the foliage in summer. Plants require about five years in good conditions to reach full size.
