I personally love Sagae, Liberty, and Komodo Dragon. On my wish list are Krossa Regal and Seducer (upright, not sure how vase-shaped it is).

Post a pic when you have them in!

If you are looking for a gold, try Gold Regal, an oldie but still a great plant. If you want a variegated type try Regal Supreme. It's like Regal Splendor with a wider white margin. Krossa Regal is a great vase shaped blue. For green try Rascal, it's similar to Gold Regal but has a lime green hue.

I've often jokingly said that Regal Splendor is the answer to most hosta questions, including this one

But since you are looking for three hostas, Sun Power is the answer to all other hosta questions, so get two Sun Powers.

Regal Splendor in the center of two Sun Powers would be probably make you unique in the world, and that would be quite a display.

Depends on the color you need there. I like Alex Summers and gold regal, golden sculpture, krossa regal, sagae and so many more.

'Abba Dabba Do' and 'Atlantis' are pretty good, too.

I don't consider Abba Dabba Do as upright.... it's tall, but certainly not upright in my garden.

I'd go with Regal Splendor or Krossa Regal for very upright very tall hosta.

Golden Sculpture is great.

Victory is amazing.

Seducer is great.... just a little young for me to know HOW great.

American Sweetheart has a unique upright shape.

Also look at American Icon

I'd like to suggest Key Lime Pie and Lakeside Rocky Top and Spring Fling.They grow well get pretty large and are beautiful.

Krossa Regal and montana Aureomarginata are fast growing and vase-shaped.

I have Krossa Regal, Regal Splendor, Sagae and Liberty. For purely stunning variegation I would have to choose Sagae or the very similar Liberty, which is still very young in my garden.

I have to say however that 3 of those would be too busy for what you have said. I would go with one of them in the middle flanked with Krossa Regal and Regal Splender or one of the other KR family like those Steve has named like Regal Supreme,

The bluish green/grey of the KR family is very compatible with the bluish green of the Sagae/Liberty. The leaf shape of both the Sagae and KR families are similar, rather pointed and wavy, but the Sagae family have much larger leaves. Another reason to use them in the center flanked by KR family members.

Check them out in HL.

How can I delete a double posting? Sorry about that.

Mine is new, so I haven't seen a mature one, but I really like the color of Key West. Right now, it's about the color of S&S. It's supposed to be very large and it is upright. It would really brighten up any spot.

Yep, can see that I NEED a Key West SOON.
Getting deep into Olga more every day.

Krossa Regal by far here.

Harry, I love the arrangement that you have chosen, looks great.

'Krossa Regal'

'Queen of the Seas'

'Sagae'

'Grand Canyon' has a vase shape but is acting droopy this year.

Another 'Krossa Regal'

I love the look of Krossa Regal and it grows quickly to a decent size but then again there are soooo many other that are so nice too

I have a pic that I can offer (not many mature ones yet) of Krossa Regal.

Elatior, Krossa Regal, Sagas or if you patient Liberty would be my choice. I can picture Elatior with Sagae. This is my 2 year old Elatior from above so you really can't see how vased it is but it gets very tall with very large deep green leaves.

I must admit, Gary, you're absolutely right, I REALLY can't see how vased it is. : )

Alex summers and gold regal are both nice. And I love lakeside ripples and it is a fast grower too.

Wow, tons of suggestions, I want All of them!

Sams club has some 3 or 5 gallon Krossa Regals. I may peek at them this morning...

How about nigrescens or Tenryu. I took an eye off my nigrescens a year ago last summer and put it into a new garden. The first picture is that plant and the picture was taken last night.
The second and third picture is of Tenryu, which looks quite a bit like nigrescens.
