Guardian Angel pairs a cream centre with a blue margin on a large hosta, recently added to our range. The light middle of each leaf seems to glow in shade.
Give it a specimen position or a place at the back of a shady border, where the pale centres show above lower plants. Afternoon sun is too hot for it, so choose a spot that stays shaded after midday. Discover more large and giant hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Varieties
The best blue hostas range from the miniature Blue Mouse Ears to giants such as Big Daddy and Blue Angel. Their blue comes from a waxy coating that is thickest in spring and wears off in strong sun, heat and heavy rain, so plant them in shade or morning sun and water gently at the base. Varieties with a thick wax coat keep their colour longest.

A good shade border is built in layers: large hostas and tall partners at the back, medium hostas in the middle and small ones at the front. Repeat a few varieties in groups of three or five, contrast broad hosta leaves with fine ferns or grasses, and add spring bulbs for colour before the hostas wake.

Design & companions
Hostas and ferns are a natural pair: both like moist, humus-rich soil in partial or full shade, and the fine, divided fronds of a fern make the broad hosta leaf stand out. Choose ferns that suit your moisture, give each plant its full spacing and keep fast spreaders such as ostrich fern away from small hostas.
