My only current non-NOID medium/large is "Bressingham Blue". Nowhere near what it might grow to be in size. 4th season, it's been a healthy specimen. Good color in full shade. I think a transplant will allow it to really fill out? I just popped a grouping of 5 or clearance priced hostas "near" where I want them to eventually grow. Haven't touched them since.

Once my truck is out of the shop, the shade garden project will commence! Hopefully enough $ left over for the topsoil and flagstone... Whistling

I divided and transplanted an old Blue Angel clump. It wasn't what I was expecting...more like digging a good sized shrub. Here's a pic from last year.

Those are beautiful Evan! I was looking at the pencil you have laying beside the hosta, not really paying attention then I realize it is a yard stick! LOL. Love that Guacamole also. Lovey dubby

The early summer blush on Blue Angel is amazing. Hosta have been such a revelation to me over the past few years. I relocated a Sum and Substance as well and the root mass was about 1/3 the size. Competing with Maple roots wasn't the best idea I've had.

Are you moving it to a better spot? They do not HAVE to be divided. Dividing will be a set back for the plant, but sometimes you have to.
I hope your dollars work out for your project, that flagstone sounds like a nice touch!

Just moving the plants around, no plans for division. I hit on a pic in a video slideshow and it appears there are 2 blues so I'll have to go through my notebook and I.D. them. They're awfully crowded at the moment. Like Evan mentioned above, I've got Maple roots to factor in...

Looks like you have found some nice blues for your garden

as for blue angel maybe it just needs a couple years to show off the size Smiling
