The story
An empress needs room.
Huge, thick, dark green leaves in a clump that can reach four feet tall and six wide. Lavender flowers in summer. It takes a few years to get there, and then it owns the shade garden.
Light
Part shade to shade.
Water
Keep evenly moist. It needs more water than smaller hostas to size up.
Planting
Plant in spring or early fall with the crown at soil level, in soil worked with compost.
A true giant for shade that turns one plant into a focal point.
