Info | Hosta of the Year for 2009 (HOTY). Destined to become a classic!! Hans has created a phenomenal variegated sport from H. 'Blue Angel': large heart-shaped blue-green leaves have a wide creamy-white border. Thick leaves should be massive when the plant reaches maturity and will be topped with pale lavender flowers. Now, one of the great hostas has been made even better. We are pleased to introduce Hosta 'Earth Angel', a marvelous white edged mutation of Hosta 'Blue Angel'. Each 5' wide clump is composed of thick wide pointed blue leaves, each surrounded by a 1" wide creamy white border. This breakthrough is the first giant blue hosta to have a border....stand up and cheer! |
