One of the best large variegated Hostas, 'Earth Angel' shines as a specimen plant in the garden. Beautiful blue-green leaves are surrounded by a creamy-white margin. 2009 AHGA Hosta of the Year.
Han's sport of Blue Angel, a large showy plant with chartruse margins in spring that gradually change to creamy white. This will grow 20x40 inches and makes an imposing specimen. Hosta names are a culture unto themselves, personally I would have gone with Avenging Angel or Angel of Death, or perhaps Mindfreak for a more obtuse reference, I'm not that much into 50's do wap.
