Hosta 'Blue Angel'

Hosta 'Blue Angel' is one of the largest blue-leaved hostas, forming an impressive mound of broad, heart-shaped, powdery blue foliage. This low-maintenance perennial thrives in shady areas and brings bold texture and colour contrast to woodland gardens and foundation plantings. In midsummer, it sends up tall flower scapes topped with pale lavender blooms that attract hummingbirds.
