Empress Wu Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its huge 2ft foliage.  The deeply veined and corrugated green leaves lose their waxy coating and blue tint as they mature.  Small pale reddish-violet bell-like flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
