Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Earth Angel Hosta (Hosta 'Earth Angel')
The Earth Angel Hosta is a beautiful, flowering plant that attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The flowers of this hosta produce nectar to feed these visitors, and in turn, the visitors help to pollinate the hosta.
The Earth Angel Hosta has trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom on tall stems in the late summer. They are a light lavender color and have a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators from afar. The flowers also have yellow-green reproductive structures in the center, which contain the plant's reproductive cells.
Bees and butterflies are the most common visitors to the Earth Angel Hosta. They are attracted to the bright colors and sweet fragrance of the flowers, and they gather nectar as they move from flower to flower. As they gather the nectar, they brush against the reproductive structures of the flowers, transferring pollen from one plant to another.
Hummingbirds are also known to visit the Earth Angel Hosta. Their long, thin beaks are perfectly suited for reaching deep into the trumpet-shaped flowers to gather nectar. As they do so, they also pick up and transfer pollen, helping to pollinate the hosta.
Pollination is essential for the Earth Angel Hosta to produce seeds and propagate. Without pollinators, the flowers would wither and fall off without producing any seeds. By attracting pollinators and providing them with food, the Earth Angel Hosta ensures its survival and ability to thrive.
