Pic of the Day--Regal Splendor
Hi All--Regal Splendor is aptly named. This sport of Krossa Regal carries on the family tradition of being one of the best additions to any collection. Its coloring and upright form make for a plant that easily passes the 20 foot rule. The plant growing in our Friendship Garden started out a diminutive 12x8 and grew to 19x9 this summer. I expect the plant to eventually reach a size in the area of 58x26 although Zilis lists it at 72x30. I am showing photos of the plant in its first two years in the Friendship Garden and a photo of a mature plant.

The very first plants I bought for my garden were three Regal Spendor Hostas. I just love how fast they have grown (well, 2 of the 3), and how they seem to take the least amount of slug damage in the whole garden. They are particularly pretty in the early summer, when the vase shape is so pronounced (seems like they lose some of that as the summer progresses?). Here is one of mine, after the third summer in the ground. Can't wait to see it next year.
