Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Royal Wedding is prized for its flowers: large, pure white blooms 3 to 4 inches long with a sweet perfume in mid to late summer. Plant it by a patio or path so you can enjoy the scent up close.

The foliage is attractive too, with thick, shiny green leaves edged in wide creamy white margins that turn pure white. It grows quickly into an upright mound about 12 inches tall and 20 inches wide, a good size for containers and the front of a shade border.

What it looks like

Thick, glossy, heart-shaped green leaves with very wide creamy white margins that brighten to pure white. Leaves are held on upright stems, forming an upright mound about 12 inches tall and 20 inches wide. In mid to late summer, scapes 18 to 20 inches tall carry large, 3 to 4-inch, pure white trumpet-shaped flowers. The flowers are wide and open, much larger than on typical hostas. At peak the big white blooms echo the white leaf edges.

Growing it with lavender

Hostas want shade and steady moisture, the opposite of lavender's hot, dry bed, so give this one a spot under trees or along the north side of the house with ferns and astilbe.

Care

Plant in part to full shade in rich, humus-heavy soil that stays evenly moist but drains well; water deeply during dry spells, especially the first summer. Hardy in zones 3-9. Cut spent scapes after bloom and divide crowded clumps in early spring as the shoots emerge.

How to grow Royal Wedding

Hosta · Hosta

Hostas want shade to part shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Blue and big-leaved types (like H. sieboldiana) need the most shade; many gold and fragrant types tolerate more sun.

Hardy in zones 3a–9b

Spring through early fall; spring as eyes emerge is easiest.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Arrives as a dormant crown with pointed buds (eyes) and a mass of fleshy roots. Soak roots 1–2 hours, then plant with roots spread out over a mound and the crown even with the soil. Water well; leaves follow in a few weeks.

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Pointed shoots (eyes) push up in mid to late spring, later than many perennials, and unfurl over a couple of weeks. Small plants may stay dormant until May; a firm crown is alive.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring through early fall; spring as eyes emerge is easiest.

How deep

Set the crown (where roots meet shoots) even with the soil surface. Plants from pots go at the same depth they grew.

Spacing

By mature size: minis 6–12 inches; medium 2 feet; giants 3–5 feet.

Soil

Rich, loamy, high in organic matter · pH 5.5–7.0

Fix-it tip: Mix in compost, composted manure or leaves. In clay, raise the planting area slightly so crowns don't sit wet over winter.

Sun

Part shade (tolerates full shade; morning sun).

Blue-leaved types keep their color best in shade. Gold types brighten with some morning sun; most scorch in hot afternoon sun.

Don’t give up on it

Is it alive? What spring looks like

Pointed shoots (eyes) push up in mid to late spring, later than many perennials, and unfurl over a couple of weeks. Small plants may stay dormant until May; a firm crown is alive.
