Butterfly IconHummingbird Icon

Plant Type: Hostas

A striking, reverse sport of the widely admired ‘Patriot’ (Hosta of the Year in 1997). The leaves of ‘Fire and Ice’ have a heavy substance and a slight twist that creates a sense of movement and draws your eye to their pure white centers and dark green edging. In midsummer, the unique lavender flowers appear. A midsize Hosta that’s showy as a specimen or bedded out in groups.
