A Rare Collector's Angel — Originator's Stock Divisions from Chuck Wasitis
Chuck Wasitis introduced Hosta 'Angel from Montgomery' as a collector's cultivar prized for its luminous, heart-shaped leaves and sophisticated shade garden presence. The medium-green centre is framed by wide, creamy-white margins that hold their crisp contrast from spring through to the first autumn frost. Foliage forms a dense, symmetrical mound with a graceful arching habit. Our current stock consists of direct divisions from the originator's plant, ensuring the variegation is perfectly stable and true to Wasitis's original vision. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9.

Grower's Tip: Filtered morning light and protection from harsh afternoon sun keep the wide cream margins on 'Angel from Montgomery' at their most pristine — it handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 and is a natural fit for the sheltered woodland gardens of the Laurentians where dappled light and cool summers let the variegation shine all season. We take extreme care with every originator's stock division at our nursery in Bécancour, QC, monitoring each plant until the variegation is fully stable before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Chuck Wasitis selection, confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
