Blue Angel Hosta
Enhance your garden's shady areas with the striking 'Blue Angel' Hosta. This large perennial plant, reaching up to 4 feet in height and width, is celebrated for its dramatic, heart-shaped blue-green leaves with prominent veining. It thrives in full shade, which accentuates its vibrant blue color, and produces delicate pale blooms in mid to late summer. Exceptionally low-maintenance, Hostas naturally form beautiful mounds, making them ideal for groundcover where grass struggles. Hardy in Zones 3-8, this plant adds effortless elegance to any landscape.

What customers say
Customers highly praise the Blue Angel Hosta for its massive size and striking powdery blue foliage, noting its robust performance in shade. Reviewers frequently commend American Meadows for shipping healthy, viable stock that often exceeds initial size expectations. The primary satisfaction comes from watching this plant mature into a dramatic landscape focal point. While the quality of the stock is excellent, gardeners should anticipate that initial growth in the first season can be slow, requiring patience. Despite this temporary wait, the consensus strongly supports the plant's resilience and the overall value provided. It remains a highly recommended choice for shade gardening enthusiasts seeking a magnificent reward.
