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.

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.
