Know before you buy
For optimal growth and air circulation, space your Hosta roots 20 to 24 inches apart. This allows the plant to reach its full mature width of 2 to 3 feet without overcrowding.
It is best to avoid direct afternoon sun, as 'Regal Splendor' thrives in partial to full shade. Too much intense sunlight can scorch the delicate, frosty-blue leaves.
Plant the roots so that the crown—the point where the roots meet the stems—is positioned about 1/2 inch below the soil line. Planting too deep can hinder growth, while planting too shallow may expose the roots to drying out.
Yes, this perennial is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9. It is designed to go dormant in the winter and return with new growth each spring.
Hosta 'Regal Splendor' is relatively low-maintenance. It requires moderate watering and will reward you with lavender blooms in early summer, which are excellent for attracting hummingbirds to your garden.
