Plant Type: Hostas

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.

Not available until spring 2025.
