Hosta 'Royal Standard'
Choose Royal Standard Hosta for a big, glossy green mound topped with fragrant white flowers in late summer — and one of the few hostas that takes more sun than most. The tradeoff: it is still a hosta, so deer love it and it dies back for winter.
Buy This If
You want a large, dependable green hosta.
You want fragrant white late-summer flowers.
Your spot gets part sun and you can water it.
Skip This If
Deer browse your beds unprotected.
The site bakes dry.
You need evergreen or winter interest.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
A large, glossy green mound that reads well in mass and finishes with fragrant white bloom.
Growth Rate
A
One of the faster hostas to bulk up and fill space.
Maintenance
A-
Little more than steady moisture and a spring cleanup of old foliage.
Deer Resistance
D
Hostas are a deer favorite — protect it where pressure is heavy, no matter the variety.
Small Space Fit
B
It gets large, so give it room; it is more a filler than a tight-spot accent.
Sun Tolerance
B+
More sun-tolerant than most hostas if kept moist, though it still burns in hot, dry full sun.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd reach for Royal Standard when a customer wants a big, reliable green hosta that can handle a little more sun than the blue types and rewards them with fragrant white flowers in August. Give it steady moisture and deer protection and it is about as dependable as hostas get.

Customers Usually Ask
Can it really take sun?
More than most hostas — it handles morning sun and part sun well as long as the soil stays moist, but hot, dry full sun will scorch it.
Are the flowers fragrant?
Yes — it is one of the classic fragrant hostas, with white blooms in late summer.
Will deer eat it?
Very likely; hostas are a deer favorite, so protect it where deer are active.
How big does it get?
A large mound roughly 2 ft tall and 3 ft wide over time.

I couldn’t be present when the tree was planted. I was very happy with the tree. It was planted correctly and at the proper height. As an arborist I see trees improperly planted frequently. Thank you!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Installation Service

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
