Hosta 'Fire and Ice' sports twisted leaves with a blend of creamy white centres and dark green irregular margins. This dramatic variety has the power to enliven dim areas of your garden with its vibrant contrasts. Come July and August, the foliage takes a step back, allowing spikes adorned with clusters of lavender-blue flowers to rise and captivate the onlookers. This plant's compact and upright growth further accentuates its allure.
Perfect as ground cover in sunny to partially shaded spots, Hostas, especially the Fire and Ice variety, are the embodiment of low maintenance. Once firmly rooted, they can remain undisturbed for years, consistently brightening up spaces. For optimal colour retention, a semi-shaded spot is recommended for this variegated beauty. Enriching its soil with well-rotted compost or leaf mould ensures its flourishing, while the moisture-retentive quality of the soil remains crucial. Come summer, its trumpet-like flowers not only add to the visual appeal but also attract bees and other beneficial insects.
Whether planted directly in the garden or in containers, Hosta Fire and Ice promises to refresh any space with its contrasting foliage. Although its leaves retreat in winter, they reliably return each spring, marking a new cycle of beauty. With a growth trajectory reaching approximately 25 x 40cm (9 x 15ins), this plant offers both height and spread in perfect measure.
