Hosta Guardian Angel Hallucinogenic Plants followed by green seed podsSurely, everyone needs a "guardian angel." Discovered at Mobjack Nursery, this hot new sport of H. 'Blue Angel' grows like its parent, except when it emerges in early spring, the center of each leaf is bright, creamy white. For the spring garden, this beauty will put all other hostas to shame!
