Hosta Blue Angel PhotoOne of the biggest and best blue hostas. Large blue to blue-green leaves are slightly pointed. Forms very pretty clump 5' wide or more. Lovely near white flower clusters in summer. $9.95. Limited number of larger plants available including 3-7 gallons.
 
Hosta June

close up of leafJune emerges in the spring with very bright gold leaves with blue margin. Leaf center gradually turns chartreuse later in the season. Color holds well into summer with bright light. Very good sun tolerance. June is one of several hostas that can grow in both part sun as well shadier areas. The plant looks dramatically different depending on how much sun it receives. This is a great hosta for "transition areas" that get unfiltered sun part of the day. We've had good luck even with mid-day to afternoon sun. June is a sport of Halcyon, with the same good substance. Grows to about 18" wide with purple flowers in early summer. $12.95.
