Hosta 'Fire Island'

The breathtaking Hosta 'Fire Island' ignites shaded garden borders with an extraordinary, high-contrast display of radiant spring color. This spectacular clumping selection features broadly ovate, heavily rippled leaves that emerge in a brilliant, glowing shade of neon yellow-gold. Serving as a striking contrast to the warm golden canopy are intense, saturated mahogany-red petioles that bleed color beautifully into the base of each leaf blade. As the summer heat warms the landscape, the dense foliage gently settles into a handsome, cool chartreuse green while completely retaining its wavy, crinkled margins and heavy substance, culminating in late summer with elegant scapes of tubular lavender flowers.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
