Hosta 'Emperor's New Clothes'

Hosta ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ – Sport of ‘Empress Wu’

One of the most talked-about Hostas in recent years, ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ features dramatic flecking on every leaf. Leaves start nearly all white in spring, with the flecks increasing in size and number as the season progresses, creating a striking, evolving display. Near-white flowers bloom in early summer, rising elegantly above the foliage. More compact than its parent ‘Empress Wu’, this Hosta makes a bold statement in part sun to full shade gardens.
