Hosta ‘Blue Angel’


Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.278.680


Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This huge specimen selection has big, heart-shaped blue-grey leaves and tall stems of near-white flowers in midsummer. Also good for planting in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. Easily divided in either spring or fall, but plants may be left alone for years. Good slug resistance. Elegans group. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others.
