Hosta 'Royal Standard'
Scientific Name: Hosta plantaginea ‘Royal Standard’
Hosta ‘Royal Standard’ is a timeless shade-garden perennial known for its lush green foliage and highly fragrant white blooms. This vigorous hosta forms a large, elegant mound of glossy, heart-shaped leaves that adds rich texture and vibrant color to shaded beds, borders, and containers.
In late summer, tall flower stalks emerge above the foliage with beautiful trumpet-shaped white flowers that release a sweet evening fragrance and attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Derived from Hosta plantaginea, this variety is especially valued for its strong fragrance and excellent garden performance.
