Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An award winning offspring of the sieboldiana line, a group of large-form hostas originating in Japan, Blue Angel displays the best of that lineage. Its oversized heart-shaped leaves, smoky blue lightly frosted foliage and corrugated texture make it standout in the garden. The 2016 Benedict Garden Performance Award (the best of the best) was bestowed by the American Hosta Society on Blue Angel. That pretty much says it all.
