Hosta Earth Angel

Hosta ‘Earth Angel’ — Giant Blue-Green Leaves with Creamy White Margins

Hosta ‘Earth Angel’ is a magnificent variegated sport of the legendary ‘Blue Angel’ and one of the most celebrated giant hostas ever introduced. Winner of the 2009 Hosta of the Year award, this variety forms an enormous, graceful mound of thick, heart-shaped blue-green leaves edged in a wide, creamy-white margin. The contrast is striking, giving the plant a luminous glow in the shade garden.

As the clump matures, it becomes truly massive—often reaching 4–5 feet wide—creating structural presence, depth, and elegance in the landscape. The heavy substance foliage resists pests and holds color well through the season. In summer, tall scapes carry pale lavender flowers that complement the cool-toned foliage beautifully. A true collector’s classic and a must-have statement plant.
