Regal Splendor Hosta

Regal Splendor Hosta (Hosta 'Regal Splendor') is a stunning sport of Hosta Krossa Regal. It demonstrates the same upright vase-shaped habit of its parentage, but Regal has frosty blue leaves that are edged with a creamy yellow margin to highlight the deeply veined foliage.

This very elegant-looking Hosta provides tall stems of lavender flowers that appear in August. The late-season blooms attract grateful Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to your garden, while the tall scapes and trumpet-shaped blooms look great in your cut flower bouquets!

Regal Splendor received the 2003 American Hosta Growers Group Hosta of the Year. Once it has matured, Regal Splendor is definitely one of the most beautiful Hostas in the garden! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 9 and can reach a space-saving 2-3 feet in height and width.

Planting and Application:

Use Regal Spendor to create skirting of bold two-tone leaves around larger plants to hide their leggy stems, or edging along paths and walkways! As at home beneath large shrubs and trees understories, Hosta happily spread throughout Pollinator gardens, shady Cottage gardens, and foundation plantings on the shady areas of your home!

Regal Splendor is most at home in the dappled woodland settings and often works well as a specimen, low-maintenance as en masse attractions, and as colorful focal points in the mixed perennial border. They'll also help control erosion on slopes and gullies, and is a fine size for groundcover, edging, or specimen use! Pot up in a large planter or container to elevate your landscape, let drape over the edge of an urn as a showy accent around covered seating and porches.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant this low-care herbaceous Perennial in an area that receives partial shade and even full shade, especially in the hottest of its favored growing zones. The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration since too much sun will burn the leaves. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Provide moderate yet consistent moisture throughout the growing season and these appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch chips to help hold in moisture. Deadhead these after flowers fade, and clean the foliage away from the plant once it dies back in the autumn.

• Glorious in Full Shade or Partial Shade
• Moderate Moisture & Needs Well-Drained Soil
• Appreciates Mulch
• Prune in Late Fall After Leaves Die Back
• Divide Every Few Years
