Royal Crest Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial grown for its large, thick rich green basal leaves with a polished gloss and distinct veining. The highly fragrant white bell-like white flowers bloom on from late summer into fall attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Royal Crest has improved slug resistance.
