Plants with "Angel" in Their Names: A Guide for British Gardeners

When a gardener named John Doran asked for plants containing the word "angel" available in Britain, the answer highlighted several lovely options. While no native British wildflowers carry the name, several cultivated plants do.

The most dramatic is Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia spp.), a tropical shrub with huge, fragrant, pendulous flowers. For hardy perennials, hostas (plantain lilies) offer cultivars like 'Blue Angel' and 'Guardian Angel', both prized for their striking foliage. These are available from UK nurseries such as Apple Court (Diana Grenfell's nursery) and Bowdens Hostas. A web search will reveal current stockists and mail-order options.

Other "angelic" plants include Angelica archangelica (a biennial herb), Datura (sometimes called angel's trumpet, though toxic), and various cultivars with "angel" in their names across many genera. For British gardeners, specialist nurseries and the RHS Plant Finder are excellent resources.
