The largest of the blue Hostas, this slow growing hardy perennial forms large clumps of glaucous grey-blue leaves that can each grow up to 40cm (16) long. The enormous leaves provide an ideal backdrop for its bell shaped, white flowers throughout June. Hosta 'Blue Angel' is a well known cultivar with an RHS AGM for its excellent garden performance. A choice specimen plant that will transform a damp, shady corner of the garden. Height: 90cm (36). Spread: 120cm (48).Culinary note: The best part to use is the 'hoston', the rolled up leaf as it emerges in the spring. Cooking depends on the size of the hostons, small ones can be fried for a few minutes, going well in stir fries. Thicker ones are better boiled and used as a vegetable.
