It's pretty easy to find now. This is the second full summer it will be in my gardens. It's getting some size to it, but as you can see, the recent weather has been hard on her. I expect her to bounce back without a problem.

Never heard of Princess Wu. Is it smaller? I see it does exist but I cannot find any pictures.

Someone just asked a question about it on DG and I also googled it. Not a lot there. But I found a reference to a "truly large hosta". A search at myhostas.be did not bring it up.
It DID bring up:
Blue Wu Jim King 2010 'Skylight' x 'Empress Wu' View Details
Empress Wu Brian & Virginia Skaggs 2008 'Big John' hybrid View Details
Empress Wu streaked 'Empress Wu' sport View Details
Princess WuWu Linda Port & Linda Cunningham 'Empress Wu' seedling View Details
Xanadu Empress Wu
But I think this one may also be 'Xanadu Princess Wu'. At least I found a reference to that as well.

Ann, I think you are right about the 'Xanadu Princess Wu'.

The only place i could find "Princess Wu" was on Hostasdirect... no photo, no details... I found a thread on a Kio forum [yes, fish] where a gal from PA got one from them 2 yrs ago.
also did find what Ann did about E. WU being in the Xanadu series, and the name was shortened for "marketability" reasons.
