\"Hosta

Hosta ‘Krossa Regal’ emerging in April<\/p><\/div>\n

This large vase-shaped hosta emerges slightly behind some of my other hostas such as \u2018Blue Cadet’. <\/p>\n

This slug-resistant architectural specimen is a commanding presence in my perennial garden. Though planted in full sun with absolutely no sunburn effects, I plan to divide it in the fall and put a portion of it in the woodland near the Hamamelis<\/a>. I think their V-shaped structure will echo each other offering a nice rhythmic change of scale and will tie the two plants together.<\/p>\n

The distinctive vase shape of the Hosta \u2018Krossa Regal\u2019<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve put that project on my to-do list for the fall. The spreadsheet keeps growing. Soon I’ll have to employ a Gertrude Jekyll type labor force to keep up with all my ideas.<\/p>\n

I bought this plant in the early 1990’s from a mail-order house that I don’t think still exists. At least, they don’t have a web presence at this point in time. I still remember the excitement I felt when a box with the plants showed up on my deck.<\/p>\n

It was my first plant mail order purchase. I’d worked so hard to pick and choose varieties of hostas with different leaf shapes and colors. I was still in my newbie phase of disdaining variegated plants so all my purchases were solid greens and blues.<\/p>\n

Hosta \u2018Krossa Regal\u2019 in the perennial garden<\/p><\/div>\n

I remember how horrified I was when those straggly roots came out of the package. I felt so robbed. I’d never seen or even heard of bare-rooted plants at that time. Was I ever that young and na\u00efve?<\/p>\n

Well, I planted them all and they all lived. But over time many of my plant labels were lost or destroyed or misplaced so I no longer can easily identify some of them. The Krossa Regal is an exception since it has such distinctive charisma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
