Hosta 'Guardian Angel' - 2026

Hosta 'Guardian Angel' is a striking perennial that adds elegance to shaded garden spaces. This cultivar, a sport of the award-winning 'Blue Angel', showcases large, thick, blue-green leaves with a creamy white centre that gradually transitions to a misty green as the season progresses. The foliage forms a dense, arching mound, making it an excellent choice for borders, woodland gardens, or as a specimen plant.

In mid to late summer, 'Guardian Angel' produces clusters of light lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators like hummingbirds. This hosta thrives in moist, well-drained, organically rich soil and prefers partial to full shade, though it can tolerate some morning sun. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and can withstand light drought conditions, though it performs best with consistent moisture. Notably, 'Guardian Angel' was introduced by C. & R. Thompson and is a hybrid cultivar.
