Hosta 'Royal Standard' - 2026

Hosta ‘Royal Standard’ is a classic and reliable perennial, grown for its lush, glossy green foliage and elegant, fragrant blooms. The large, heart-shaped leaves form a broad, mounding clump that adds strong texture and structure to shaded borders or woodland plantings. In late summer, tall scapes rise above the foliage carrying clusters of white, lily-like flowers that are sweetly scented, making them particularly appealing for gardens where fragrance is valued and attracting pollinators such as bees.

This hosta thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and tolerates a little more sun than many varieties, especially if kept well watered. Its resilience and adaptability make it an excellent choice for both borders and containers. Low-maintenance and long-lived, it is a dependable performer that adds freshness, fragrance and elegance to shaded garden spaces.
