Description

A Piercing Powdery Blue That Commands the Shade Garden

Frank Nyikos registered Hosta 'Awakening Angel' in 2005 from a cross of H. 'Mikawa-no-yuki' and H. 'Uncle John'. The long, spear-shaped leaves emerge in an intense powdery blue and are held horizontally in a distinctive flat, spreading habit unlike traditional mounding hostas. Each leaf is deeply veined and slightly wavy with a thick waxy coating that holds the blue tone through the season. It grows vigorously across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9. Plant it as a bold focal point in a large shaded border where its architectural spread can be fully appreciated.

Intense Powdery Blue: Long, narrow lance-shaped leaves emerge in a striking powdery blue with a thick waxy coating that is particularly vivid in spring and holds well into summer.
Unique Flat Spreading Habit: Leaves are held horizontally in a distinctive "flat pancake" form, creating a wide, low architectural presence that sets it apart from all other blue hostas.
Deep Architectural Veining: Each leaf is deeply veined and slightly wavy, adding bold tactile texture and a sophisticated rhythm to the garden floor.
Picotee-Edged Blooms: Dense clusters of very pale purple flowers with a distinct darker purple picotee edge appear in late July through August on tall scapes above the spreading mound.
Vigorous Grower: Despite its refined appearance, 'Awakening Angel' establishes quickly and spreads generously, making it one of the most rewarding large blue hostas for Canadian shade gardens.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	38–48 cm × 127–152 cm (15–19" × 50–60")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Intense powdery blue; transitions to dark green as wax thins
Light Requirements	Partial to full shade

Grower's Tip: To preserve the famous powdery blue as long as possible, avoid harsh afternoon sun which can thin the protective waxy coating — 'Awakening Angel' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 but rewards a sheltered, shaded position. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and wait for the distinct spear-like leaves to unfurl before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Awakening Angel', verified before it leaves Bécancour.
