Hosta ‘Fire and Ice’

Description

The effect you get from Hosta ‘Fire and Ice’ is lively, leafy chemistry of fresh green and bright white. It’s a blast in a dull, shaded area—each leaf is branded with a bonfire of white flame markings, enabling it to light up the space through summer like foliage dynamite. ‘Fire and Ice’ is a compact Hosta which happily slots into a small gap—perfect if you have pots to fill or just love to cram your leafy plants together like a lush little jungle. For added excitement, this dense display of foliage sends up a cool show of lavender-coloured blooms in mid-summer.

Hosta ‘Fire and Ice’ is a fully hardy perennial so you can expect to see it appear again and again. It re-emerges each spring, lasts through summer and eventually becomes dormant again in autumn. This shade-loving plantain lily loves to be in a spot which is out of direct sunlight, making it a great option for areas shaded by trees, around shrubs or among other shade-loving plants like ferns, Astilbe, Lamprocapnos or Smilacena.
