Hosta Regal Splash

Hosta ‘Regal Splendor’ is a truly elegant and stately variety, widely recognized as one of the finest variegated blue hostas available. Named Hosta of the Year in 2003, this standout cultivar is a sport of the classic ‘Krossa Regal’, combining its signature upright form with striking variegation.

Its tall, vase-shaped habit creates architectural interest in the garden, while frosty blue-gray leaves are beautifully edged with creamy white to soft yellow margins. The foliage has a refined texture and slight undulation, adding movement and sophistication to shaded landscapes.

Reaching approximately 34–36 inches tall and up to 3 feet wide, ‘Regal Splendor’ forms a commanding presence, making it ideal as a focal point or backdrop planting. In late summer, tall scapes rise above the foliage, bearing light lavender flowers that further enhance its graceful appearance.

With the strength and beauty of its parent ‘Krossa Regal’ plus the added dimension of variegation, this hosta delivers both reliability and visual impact—an enduring favorite among gardeners and collectors alike.
