#1 Hosta Blue Angel/ Blue-Green

Product Details

An enormous mound of cascading, heart-shaped, blue-green leaves. 'Blue Angel' keeps its blue color best in shade, but sometimes brightens to green with heat and sun. Elegant, pale lavender to white flowers crown the mammoth foliage in summer.

Scientific Name: Hosta 'Blue Angel'

Common Name: Blue Angel Hosta

Garden Size: 36 inches tall by 48-72 inches wide; scape height 48 inches

Growth Rate: Most hostas have a moderate to fast growth rate.

USDA Zone: 3-9

Exposure: Partial to full shade

Water & Soil: Moist, well-drained soil

Habit (Form): Mounding

Foliage: Very large, heart-shaped, blue leaves, deeply veined with a lightly undulating edge, arranged in a cascading mound. The foliage maintains the glaucous bloom that provides its blue color best in shade, and turns greener with more sun exposure.

Flowers: Pale lavender to white, tube-shaped flowers that grow on scapes above the foliage. Blooms mid summer.

Plant Origin: East Asia, primarily Japan and Korea. Most commercially available hostas are hybrids.

Wildlife Support: Hummingbirds and some bees enjoy the flowers. A favorite treat for our local deer.

Fertilizing: Apply compost in early spring before new growth emerges.

Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to encourage new growth; trim back damaged or yellowing leaves as needed. Leave the leaves over the winter and wait until early spring to clean up.
