Hosta 'Angelique' | Yellow to White Margin Green Centre Medium Hosta Zumbar

Description

A Two-Stage Seasonal Colour Shift on a Graceful Medium Variegated Mound

Zumbar introduced Hosta 'Angelique' as an unregistered medium-sized cultivar prized for its two-part seasonal colour shift. The elongated leaves open with a light green centre and bright yellow margins in spring. As the season progresses, the centre deepens to a rich dark green while the margins transition to clean creamy white by midsummer. At 38 cm (15") tall and 76 cm (30") wide, it forms a dense, flowing mound. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it a reliable and visually dynamic shade border companion.

  • Two-stage seasonal colour shift: Both the centre and margin evolve through the season — light green deepens to dark green while yellow margins brighten to creamy white, delivering fresh contrast all summer long.
  • Graceful fountain-like habit: The dense, flowing foliage arches gently outward, creating a natural fountain effect that adds movement and elegance to shaded borders and woodland path edges.
  • Lustrous leaf surface: Elongated leaves carry a subtle sheen that catches and reflects dappled light beautifully in the shade garden.
  • Good vigour and reliable growth: Noted for a good growth rate and strong resilience in Canadian climates, establishing well from Zone 3 through 9.
  • Lavender summer blooms: Lavender flowers rise on tall scapes in midsummer, adding graceful vertical interest above the two-toned foliage canopy.
Feature Specification
Size (H × W) 38 cm × 76 cm (15" × 30")
Hardiness Zone 3–9
Colour Light to dark green centre; yellow (spring) to creamy white (summer) margin
Light Requirements Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: The yellow-to-white margin transition on 'Angelique' is most dramatic with dappled morning light, though it thrives in full shade as well — it handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 and is a natural fit for the shaded ravine gardens of Victoria, BC where the mild Pacific climate lets the two-stage colour shift play out beautifully all season. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and watch for the full two-stage colour shift before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Angelique' — confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
