Planting and Care
Blue Angel performs best in partial to full shade locations, with limited morning sun enhancing its distinctive blue coloration. Plant in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content and a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Consistent moisture is essential, particularly during establishment, though established plants show good drought tolerance. This hosta goes dormant in fall; remove dying foliage before mid-spring. Spring is the ideal planting time, allowing roots to establish before summer heat arrives.
