Earth Angel Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its large, broad heart shaped blue-green foliage with chartreuse edging that gradually softens to creamy white. The tall scapes of palest lavender to white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
