Blue Angel Hosta is a majestic shade garden giant, renowned for its immense, heavily textured blue-green leaves that form a stunning, sculptural mound. In summer, it sends up tall scapes of delicate, funnel-shaped, lavender-pink flowers that add a graceful vertical accent. This fast-growing, ultra-hardy perennial is a true workhorse for creating a bold, calming backdrop in deep shade, where its cool-colored foliage thrives and outcompetes weeds with ease.

Giant, Textured Blue Foliage: Features enormous, heart-shaped leaves with a unique seersucker texture and a distinctive frosty blue-green color that stands out in the shade.
Towering Lavender Flower Spikes: Produces tall, sturdy scapes topped with clusters of pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers in mid-summer.
Massive and Impressive Form: Grows into a large, dense mound, reaching 2-3 feet tall and spreading 3-4 feet wide, making a dramatic statement.
Thrives in Deep to Partial Shade: Prefers shady locations where its prized blue leaf color is best preserved, as sun can cause fading or scorching.
Extremely Hardy and Vigorous: A robust, fast-growing cultivar that is cold-tolerant, resistant to slugs, and forms an excellent, weed-suppressing ground cover.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: How do I keep its blue color vibrant?
A: Plant it in full to part shade. More sunlight will cause the blue, waxy coating on the leaves (which gives the color) to fade to green. Morning sun is acceptable in cooler climates.

Q: Is it slug resistant?
A: Yes, its thick, heavily textured leaves are much more resistant to slug damage compared to thinner-leaved hosta varieties.
