Description

A Living Canopy for a Dramatic Shade Garden

Hosta 'Empress Wu' brings sweeping dark green leaves and a commanding presence to a spacious shade garden. B. and V. Skaggs registered it in 2008 from a self-cross of 'Big John'. As the clump matures, its outer leaves sweep towards the ground, creating a broad living canopy. Give this Proven Winners® Shadowland® giant room to become the garden's centrepiece rather than squeezing it between smaller neighbours.

Spring character: A light glaucous coating softens the emerging foliage before the leaves take on their deep green summer colour.
Summer flowers: Pale lavender tubular blooms rise above the canopy in late June to early July, adding a delicate counterpoint.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	127 × 274 cm (50 × 108 in)
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Dark green
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Plan for the mature spread from the start, leaving smaller companions beyond the future canopy. 'Empress Wu' handles Canadian winters in Zones 3–9, so generous space matters more than a sheltered corner. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Empress Wu' for that long-term garden centrepiece.
