Description

A Classic White-Margined Hosta for the Canadian Shade Garden

Hosta 'Crusader' is a refined, mid-sized cultivar bred by William and Eleanor Lachman, with H. 'Halcyon' as its pollen parent. Registered in the 1990s, it inherits thick leaf substance and dependable vigour from that celebrated lineage. Its heart-shaped, forest-green leaves are crisply framed by clean white margins that brighten even the deepest shade corners. Hardy across Canadian zones 3–9, it performs reliably from the Maritimes to British Columbia. We verify every plant is True to Type at our Bécancour trial fields before it ships.

Stark Definition: Deep green leaf centres are dramatically offset by clean white margins, creating a sophisticated contrast that never goes out of style.
Exceptional Lineage: Derived from H. 'Halcyon', this cultivar inherits thick leaf substance that stands up to variable Canadian weather.
Late Summer Interest: Pale lavender flowers arrive in August, adding a refreshing burst of colour just as other perennials begin to fade.
Uniform Mound: Matures into a tidy, symmetrical mound — an excellent choice for mass plantings or structured borders.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	41 cm × 76 cm (16" × 30")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Dark green with white margins
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: Plant in a spot with consistent moisture to keep those white margins looking their crispest. Every division is personally verified True to Type during the spring flush at our Bécancour trial fields, so you receive a healthy, vigorous plant that matches the Lachmans' original vision.
