Description
Massive blue-gray leaves make Hosta Blue Angel a strong focal point for shaded borders and woodland gardens. The broad, ribbed foliage forms a wide mound, while pale lavender-white flowers rise above it in midsummer.
Plant it in fertile, moist but well-drained soil with protection from hot afternoon sun. It also grows well in a large outdoor container. This plant is toxic to pets and horses if eaten, so keep animals from chewing the foliage.
