Know before you buy
Most hostas grow in a low, spreading mound, but 'Krossa Regal' features a distinct upright, vase-like habit. This vertical structure makes it an excellent choice for adding height and architectural interest to a shade garden.
This is a large-scale perennial that reaches a mature height and width of 6 feet. Ensure you provide enough room for it to spread, as it will eventually occupy a significant footprint in your landscape.
The 'Krossa Regal' is hardy in zones 3 through 8. It is a robust perennial capable of enduring cold winters while returning reliably each spring.
Yes, the thick, smooth texture of the leaves makes this variety more resistant to slug and snail damage compared to thinner-leaved hostas. While no plant is entirely immune, its foliage is notably tougher and less prone to being eaten.
This hosta is best suited for partial to full shade. While it can handle some dappled light, avoid planting it in areas with intense, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves and fade its unique blue-gray coloring.
