Guardian Angel or Angel Eyes
Comments (4)I'm checking to see about Angel Eyes, so far it is not listed as having any sports, so I must go another direction for it. But Guardian Angel originated as a sport of Blue Angel. Then GA has 6 sports of its own, including Fallen Angel, American Blue Guardian, Luc's Birthday, and Fire & Brimstone. It's other sport, American Angel, sported one of its own, called American Angel's Fire. (Info from MyHostas.be/sports/index ) Then, checking Blue Angel, I discover that Angel Eyes is another sport of it, just like Guardian Angel is. Quoting from the description MyHostas gives of this plant, first sentence says: "This is a white centered form of 'Blue Angel', similar to and possibly identical to the recently registered 'Guardian Angel'." You can go to the website and read the rest of the info there. So it seems you are keeping it all in the family with your new selection. Perhaps you can give it a couple of years and see whether they are identical or not. Under Guardian Angel, followed from Blue Angel link, it gives another sport, Comanche, for GA. It also lists that American Angel (VanWade) is a "superior" version of GA and its color holds true all season. Said to be a Large hosta. But I recommend you look up and read all about it.

Comments (5)Okay - second time - same question: What are the pink scapes growing up through many of your H's???? I asked you this last time you posted some pics earlier this week AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!!! They look like Heuchera scapes but I don't see any Heuchera nor do I see anything other than Hosta - KEN? I also wanna know how old the Guardian Angel is - I bought one last year and one last week and I'm in love with them. How long do I have to wait for more than three eyes? (Under normal conditions, whatever that is). Westy...See MoreIs this "Blue Angel" mutating to a Guardian Angel "
Comments (8)GA tends to darken over the season ... MY GUESS .... TCer is making GAs ... and a certain per cent come out BA ... a reversion .. and they grow them on.. and sell them wholesale ... but just a guess ... you should probably remove the GA from the blues.. or it might disappear during dormancy ... ken...See More2nd year guardian angel looks unhealthy
Comments (8)I think it was too deep. No more plopping them in ==>>> BAZINGA ... lol ... happy dance .... [gawd i need a life] the white leek-like stem is the give away ... you can plop them anywhere.. any way you want.. even on the driveway ... just try to avoid too deep.. which includes firming them in there.. so the soil doesnt settle ... also .. in the great white north.. where spring thaw can flex the soil.. and cause this.. plant early enough in fall .. so the plant can settle and grab hold .. before dormancy ... even as early as august ... they may end up looking ugly for the rest of the year.. but they will be.. well planted ... hope you get a good new flush.. ken...See Morejosephines167 z5 ON Canada
