Earth Angel Hosta

Hosta 'Earth Angel'

Earth Angel Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its large, broad heart shaped blue-green foliage with chartreuse edging that gradually softens to creamy white.  The tall scapes of palest lavender to white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best bloom 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:   Painted Fern,  Lungwort,  Columbine
