About Blue Angel
Blue Angel builds a wide mound rather than a narrow column. Its leaf stems hold the large blades outward before the outer leaves arch down. That shape makes it useful beside fine fern foliage or behind smaller hostas, where its outline stays easy to see.
Choose Blue Angel for a solid blue-green planting. Earth Angel is the related option to compare if you want a pale leaf edge. Allow for the mature spread when buying a small division. The first season's pot size tells you little about the space the established clump will need.
