"The Hosta æRoyal StandardÆ is a vigorous, large Hosta with dark green leaves, making this variety very striking. The light lavender fragrant flowers bloom from July to August, however, HostaÆs are not known only for their flowers. With a plant height of 18ö and a spread of 36-48ö, HostaÆs provide bright color in shade with wonderful foliage. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and one of the most popular for landscape uses. A great choice for any beginner gardener."
