Hosta 'Royal Standard' - Deciduous Perennial - Height 50-60cm - 2lt

Hosta ‘Royal Standard’ is a classic and highly reliable perennial, valued for both its handsome foliage and fragrant blooms. It is one of the earliest patented hostas, introduced in the mid-20th century, and remains a favorite in gardens today due to its vigor and versatility. This cultivar forms large, dense clumps of broad, glossy green leaves with a rich sheen that provides texture and depth in shady borders or woodland gardens. Unlike many hostas, ‘Royal Standard’ is remarkably sun-tolerant, performing well in both full shade and partial sun, which makes it a flexible choice for diverse planting schemes.

During late summer, tall flower scapes rise above the foliage, bearing clusters of trumpet-shaped, pure white blossoms. These flowers are not only striking in appearance but also delightfully fragrant, a rare and desirable trait among hostas, attracting pollinators to the garden. With its hardy nature, low maintenance needs, and ability to thrive in a variety of soils, Hosta ‘Royal Standard’ is well-suited for mass plantings, edging, or as a striking specimen plant. It remains a timeless and elegant choice for gardeners.
