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.
