Plantain Lily 'Earth Angel', 'Earth Angel' Hosta
Among the most outstanding cream-margined blue-leaved hostas, ‘Earth Angel’ (Plantain Lily) forms a huge, undulating mound of thick, heart-shaped, blue-green leaves adorned with wide, creamy-white margins that are creamy yellow in spring. Dense racemes of long-lasting, funnel-shaped, palest lavender to white blooms appear in summer, rising on scapes 40 in. tall (100 cm). A popular choice, ‘Earth Angel’ makes a wonderful specimen. Give it space so that is can increase over the years.
