Hosta Plantain Lily Shadowland Wu-La-La

Shadowland® Giant ‘Wu-La-La’ Hosta (Hosta hybrid)

Shadowland® Giant ‘Wu-La-La’ Hosta is a dramatic, award-winning perennial that brings bold scale and refined color to shade and part-shade landscapes. Often compared to the popular ‘Empress Wu’, this exceptional variety adds a striking upgrade with its distinctive apple-green margins surrounding large, blue-green leaves.

Forming an impressive, mounded clump, ‘Wu-La-La’ matures into a true garden centerpiece, reaching its full size in approximately five years. Its thick, substantial foliage provides excellent texture and long-lasting visual interest throughout the growing season. In early summer, violet flowers rise above the foliage on tall scapes, adding seasonal color and attracting hummingbirds.

Ideal for large shade gardens, woodland settings, and specimen plantings, this giant hosta offers strong performance with minimal maintenance.
