Blue Angel Hosta

Hosta 'Blue Angel'

Blue Angel Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage.  The large, lightly convex basal leaves have ribbed veins and are blue-green.  Small bell-like white flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.   

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:   Columbine, Lungwort, Bleeding Heart
