A sport of the popular Hosta 'Blue Angel', this variety produces thick, heart-shaped leaves that form a bold, architectural mound, making it a striking focal point in any shaded border or woodland garden. The substantial leaf thickness provides excellent natural resistance to slug and snail damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summer, tall stems emerge bearing clusters of pale lavender to near-white, bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators to the garden.
