Earth Angel Hosta

Hosta ‘Earth Angel’ — commonly known as Earth Angel Hosta — is a giant perennial prized for its broad blue-green leaves edged with wide creamy white margins that brighten through the season. The thick, heavily textured foliage forms a massive mound with excellent substance and strong slug resistance, while pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer on tall sturdy scapes.
