Regal Splendor Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage. The elongated wavy margined basal foliage emerges frosty blue with narrow creamy yellow to white margins and becomes more blue-green as the frosted coating fades. Small bell-like pale lavender flowers raise up on scapes in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Regal Splendor has good slug resistance.
