How Big is your Blue Angel?

I noticed this year my Blue Angel has once again outgrown its place...going to have to move it again this fall.
I only got it in 2004. I'm wondering how big it will get?
Love to see some pictures. Mines so big I can't seem to compress it small enough to post the picture

I'll try to get a smaller file size tomorrow

Beautiful, Katail! My Blue Angel is not anywhere near that large, but I did dig it up and redo the bed it is in this year, so that may have slowed it down a bit. I made sure to give it more room to grow. It was kinda squished in there before,but now has room to spread out.

Thanks!
Well, I bought 5 Blue Angels at the same time and this is the only one that is 'true'. The others are too green and smaller (but the flowers are the same so I am guessing it is Green Angel). I do have two others that used to be Guardian Angel and they are as big and impressive as this one.
Cheers!

This is mine this afternoon. I measured it at 83" x 30". Last year it was 82" x 30" so I think it has settled into this size. I sure hope so because I don't really want to move it. I like it here.

Ann, you do have the most gorgeous blossom on your Blue Angel!

Mine is 80 X 26 this year. I don't know how big it would be if it wasn't squashed between a few other hostas. In this pic it's looming behind a huge Gold Regal.
I have a Guardian Angel that's 70 X 24 this year.

Love these pictures of Blue Angel. Is this very different from Elegans?

Wow !!

Those are beautiful Blue Angels . I think Kittenann's has the best bloom. 83" looks like the biggest so far. Mine is about 60 in so it has a ways to go...better get the shovel ready

Wow, those Blue Angel's are awesome. Do any of yours set many pods? The ones that I have worked with set very few, if any. I would love to use this as a pollen parent on some of my streakers.

This picture is a month or so old, but I just walked out and measured it. Looks like it's about 88" wide and 36" tall. It was kinda hard to get an accurate measurement though because of other plants being in the way. The ol' girl looks a little crispier now though - darn drought!

My Blue Angel...I'm guessing...is about 3 ft tall, and 5 ft wide.

Denise, is your BA sitting under a Pin Oak? I love that tree! Oh, and the hostas look pretty good too.

Ut oh! I htink I need to move a few around mine and give it more room. I have a feeling next year it will take over that small garden it's in after seeing all your beauties!

Great specimens!
