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.
