H. ‘Fallen Angel’

Overview

A sport of *Hosta* 'Guardian Angel' registered in 2000, 'Fallen Angel' is a giant cultivar distinguished by its blue-green leaves with white margins. The foliage emerges white with green speckling and develops a glaucous bloom on the undersides, with slightly rippled margins and cordate leaf bases.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a mound 36 inches (91.4 cm) in diameter and 24 inches (61.0 cm) tall, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, as is typical for blue-green hostas, and pairs well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade-tolerant perennials. Its substantial size makes it suitable as a specimen or background plant in shaded borders.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like many large-leaved hostas, 'Fallen Angel' is susceptible to slug and deer damage and may benefit from protective measures in areas where these pests are prevalent.
