The success of Hosta ‘Blue Angel’ begins with its location: partial shade to shade, in suitable soil (kept moist, Clayey). For Hosta ‘Blue Angel’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rain; this exposure (partial shade to shade) does not eliminate water needs.

Under trees, neighboring roots can dry out the soil despite the shade; check the moisture level of the hosta's root ball. For associations, consider astilbes, lungworts, tiarellas in varieties with similar needs. Keep its 90 cm height in mind to place lower plants on the right side and allow the flowers to be visible during July.
