Expansive ‘Krossa Regal’ Hosta features deeply veined, frosty blue-green leaves on upright stems. The vase-like arching foliage rises to 3-4 feet tall, commanding attention and adding elegance to shade gardens. The large size makes this a good background for colorful low-growing shade plants. Pale purple flowers bloom atop 4-to-6-foot tall scapes in mid-to-late summer, attracting songbirds and hummingbirds. This spectacular Hosta is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit. (Hosta x ‘Regal Hosta’)

Description

At 3-4 feet tall and 3-6 feet wide, ‘Krossa Regal’ Hosta is the perfect choice for striking presence. This hosta is a natural focal point. Easy to grow, plant it in a part-shade to full-shade location in compost-enriched, well-drained soil with average moisture. Protect it from wind. ‘Krossa Regal’ is a slug-resistant superstar. In late summer, its light purple flowers will attract pollinators. Cut them back after flowering to encourage plant growth. Native to Northeast Asia, easy-to-grow Hostas have found a welcome place in shade gardens all over the world. Divide in early spring or late summer if desired. Toxic to pets if ingested.

Planting & Care

Propagation is simple, too: If you've never divided a Hosta, let me tell you how simple and successful it can be. I once volunteered to help a friend divide three or four large, old Hosta clumps into smaller plants to line a shady walk. We began by digging them up, and then split the big fleshy root masses with a hatchet. Underground, Hostas are much like Daylilies, with fleshy, heavy masses of thick rootstocks. Once, we had the old clumps chopped into 8 or 10 equal-size pieces each, we simply dug a trench on both sides of the shady walk, and buried the pieces spaced evenly apart. They looked fine on through that summer, and the very next spring, each one was up, healthy, and already formed into a perfect circle! So don't think if you divide yours, you'll disturb that wonderful round fountain shape. They just recover and create a new whorled circle wherever you put the divided pieces. Today, that walk is edged with large, lush circles of Hosta foliage all season long.

The Flowers Yes, Hostas do flower, and some cultivars have quite beautiful blooms, mostly purplish, blue or white, on tall lily-like stems above the foliage. Hosta purists often nip off the flower stalks before they can bloom, preferring to throw all the growth into the all-important foliage of the plants.
