Description
Hosta Blue Angel
Hosta Blue Angel is one of the most popular giant blue hostas available, prized for its enormous blue-green foliage and elegant architectural presence. Forming a substantial mound of large heart-shaped leaves with a powdery blue coating, this outstanding variety creates a dramatic focal point in shaded borders and woodland gardens. Its impressive size and graceful habit make it one of the finest hostas for adding texture and structure to the landscape.
During summer, tall flower stems rise above the foliage carrying attractive pale lavender flowers that add seasonal colour and attract pollinators to the garden. The thick foliage provides good resistance to slug damage and remains attractive throughout the growing season, offering long-lasting interest from spring until autumn.
Plants leaves are cut back from August and will reappear late Spring.
