Hosta – Emperor’s New Clothes

Description

One of the most talked about Hostas to come out of our breeding program in years! Unusual flecking adorns each leaf. Leaves are the most white in spring, with flecks growing in size and number as the season progresses. Near white flowers appear beginning in early summer. While this is a sport of ‘Empress Wu’, ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ is a more compact plant.

Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today’s gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
