There is an image of this
cultivar on the
Hosta Library. From the photo on the HL website, it appears to be a large
size hosta with drooping, dark green leaves with
chartreuse medial (center) variegation. This
sport of H. 'Niagara
Falls' is a non-registered cultivar which was originated by
Hans Hansen
and
Walters Gardens,
Inc. of Michigan.
H. 'Angel Falls' is described in the patent application
as "the reverse color pattern mutation from 'Bridal Falls' U.S.
Plant Pat. No. 25,594 where the leaf variegation has
switched positions."
The patent application also lists the
following as similar cultivars: ""Compared to the sport parent, Hosta ‘Niagara Falls’, the new plant, is smaller in habit and has
leaves with that emerge with creamy yellow centers that
develop to a creamy white to near white and sinuate or
undulate margins of dark green margins. The flower scape
generally greyed-yellow colored on the new plant rather
than olive green. Compared to 'American Hero' the new
plant has more arching foliage with stronger sinuate to
undulate leaf margins. 'Satin Doll' has similar shaped
foliage, but the margin is not as sinuate to undulate as
in 'Angel Falls'. Compared to 'Guardian
Angel' the new
plant has foliage that is more sinuate to undulate, and
the center leaf color of 'Guardian
Angel' is viridescent
rather than albescent. 'Cyclone' is a smaller plant, has
smaller leaves with leaf centers that are more white in
the spring, and without the arching habit and lacks the
sinuate to undulate margin. The new plant is larger in
both height and width than 'Greenhead Center Court' and
also has a more cordate leaf base and more sinuate to
undulate margin. 'The Queen' is smaller in habit, has
flowers that are deeper lavender, stiffer more upright
foliage and less sinuate to undulate margins.
