This is a fast growing plant, is attractive, and grows to huge size so give it plenty of space. I planted it in woodland shade and it thrives in it! It multiplies and by 2007 I had to divide it in two clumps - huge enough to cover two square feet in only a few years.

Clumps are huge and deep blue, moderately wavy and corrugated. Leaves have thick substance. Flowers are very pale lavender - nearly white. Beautiful.

Blue Angel is my absolute favorite of all hostas. The very large blue-green leaves are beautiful and get more so as the plant ages. Everyone that comes to my gardens comments on the Blue Angel more than any other plant.

This is one of my favorite blue hostas. I love the huge leaves, it almost looks tropical.
