Empress Wu is probably the largest hosta. I noticed several sports are available.

I grow Empress Wu, and it is large, but the leaf color/texture is nothing super special. It does have a good form: leaves spaced well and held upright.

Wu-la-la is one sport. It's available from more than one nursery.

Gabriel's Wing is another sport.

I'm not sure how large these will grow, or if they are even that great. There is more than large plant size to consider. Facets such as color, texture, flowering, etc. are important. Maybe a slightly smaller hosta, such as Liberty or Victory, might actually be better. Thoughts?
