The Hosta ‘Blue Angel’ is a spectacular giant hosta, known for its large, thick, powdery blue-green leaves, with a slightly textured finish. Its imposing presence makes it an excellent focal point in shaded flowerbeds and woodland gardens.
It develops a majestic plant with a broad, well-structured habit, ideal for covering the ground under trees or creating a contrast with ferns and astilbes. In summer, pale lavender flower stalks rise above the foliage, adding a delicate touch.
Very hardy and easy to maintain, it prefers rich, cool, well-drained soils, as well as partial to full shade. Thanks to its thick leaves, it is generally unattractive to deer, although no hosta is completely safe under heavy pressure.
