A Rare Southern Soul: Divisions from the Originator's Plant
The world of high-end plant collecting often leads to unique treasures, and Hosta 'Angel from Montgomery' is a standout example of hybridizer Chuck Wasitis's finest work. This exquisite cultivar has long been whispered about in collector circles for its luminous, heart-shaped leaves and sophisticated presence in the shade garden. We are particularly proud to offer this selection, as our current stock consists of direct divisions from a piece of the Originator's Plant. This ensures that the magnificent medium-green centres and wide, creamy-white margins you see are perfectly stable and true to Wasitis's original vision. In the diverse climates of Canada, from the humid summers of Ontario to the cool springs of Bécancour, this rare specimen maintains a crisp, clean contrast that brightens any woodland border or shaded rockery.
Why It Stands Out
-
Originator's Stock Pedigree: These divisions come directly from the primary source, ensuring the highest level of cultivar stability and historical accuracy.
-
Exceptional Rarity: A highly sought-after variety that is seldom found in the general nursery trade, making it a true conversation piece.
-
Luminous Contrast: The wide, creamy margins act as a natural spotlight, illuminating darker garden pockets from BC to Newfoundland.
-
Elegant Arching Form: Forms a dense, symmetrical mound of foliage that gracefully arches outward for a tidy, professional look.
-
Soft Summer Blooms: Topped with pale purple flowers that perfectly complement the soft green and ivory tones of the foliage.

Grower's Tip
To maintain the pristine ivory colour of the wide margins, plant Hosta 'Angel from Montgomery' in a location with filtered morning light and protection from the harsh afternoon sun. Because we are working with precious divisions of the Originator's Plant, we take extreme care during the emergence phase here in Bécancour. We monitor every leaf to ensure the variegation is True to Type and the root system is actively pushing growth before it leaves our care. This verification process ensures that this rare "Angel" arrives at your home healthy, verified, and ready to thrive.
