Hosta "Gold Regal" review
24" tall. Light Shade. 50 - 75 % shade. Bright, yellow/chartreuse leaves. Has the same habit as 'Krossa Regal', although not related. June brings medium lavender flowers. Dense compact plant with overlapping leaves. Green in early spring turning bright yellow. Pointed leaves. Veins deeply impressed above, raised below. Lavender flowers. A very large dark yellow. Upright grower, has a place in every garden. This upright vase shaped chartreuse leaf hosta is similar in stature to Hosta 'Krossa Regal'. Large mature clumps to 36" wide of this specimen hosta are topped with sturdy tall spikes of purple flowers in early summer... a superb specimen! Chartreuse-gold leaves with an upright growing habit, tolerates sunshine; purple flwrs. Large gold leaves with good substance. Habit is upright and vase-shaped, similar to 'Krossa Regal'. Purple flowers. Lovely upright form, leaves are an attractive chartreuse-gold. It will have an excellent gold coloring with half day sun. Lavender flowers.
