Krossa Regal Hosta

Hosta x 'Krossa Regal'

Krossa Regal Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial with a vase shaped habit this is primarily grown for its foliage.  The large thick leaves are frosty blue green to blue-grey and have wide veins and lightly waved margins.  Small bell-like lavender flowers raise up on unusually tall scapes in mid to late summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Columbine, Lungwort, Bleeding Heart
