.Hosta 'Regal Splendor' — a large, elegant variegated hosta prized for its upright vase-shaped habit and long blue-green leaves edged with creamy yellow to ivory margins. The foliage arches outward from tall petioles, creating strong vertical structure similar to Krossa Regal, while the pale margins add brightness to shaded gardens. Lavender flowers rise well above the foliage in midsummer, adding graceful seasonal interest.
