H. ‘Megan's Angel’

Overview

Registered in 2009, 'Megan's Angel' is a giant sport of a streaked *Hosta* 'Blue Angel'. It is visually distinctive for its large, broadly ovate blue-green leaves with creamy white margins up to one inch wide, combined with a soft glaucous bloom on the upper surface that imparts a warm appearance.

In the Garden

This fast-growing cultivar reaches 22 inches (55.9 cm) in height and 54 inches (137.2 cm) in diameter, with upright petioles that remain clearly visible. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of blue-leaved hostas, where its white margins remain crisp. Its substantial size makes it suitable as a specimen or background plant in shaded borders, though it may overwhelm smaller companions.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture during establishment; apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. The thick leaves offer moderate slug resistance, but standard control measures are advisable in damp conditions. Deer may browse young foliage.
