Royal Wedding Hosta

The Hosta 'Royal Wedding' is a distinguished variety that offers an arresting display of contrasts. This medium-sized plant flourishes into an upright display of lustrous green leaves, beautifully accented by broad creamy-white edges. Starting as a soft gold in spring, these edges illuminate to a radiant white by mid-summer. Beyond its mesmerizing foliage, the Royal Wedding is renowned for its large, aromatic white flowers that span three to four inches, proudly perched on 20-inch scapes. Blooming from mid to late summer, their fragrance envelops surrounding spaces, making this hosta a perfect addition near patios or pathways where its scent can be fully appreciated. Royal Wedding is shipped as a bare root, a method we favor for its ability to establish quickly, double in size compared to its potted counterparts within the first season, and omit the necessity for plastic pots—providing an eco-friendly advantage.

Hosta Plant Care Instructions: During the early part of the season, the soil should be kept constantly moist. As the summer heat sets in, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In late fall, once frost has turned the foliage brown, cut it back to the ground. To ensure vigor and prevent overcrowding, divide the roots every 3-5 years. Late fall or early spring are the best times for this task.
