Hosta Fire and Ice
Plantain Lily
OUT OF STOCK
A new Hostaceae, the leaf colour is out of this world. The spikes of dainty flowers in July and August are a beautiful pale lavender. Bottle green funnel like leaves with a splash pure white at the centre. In the right position and with a little feeding this is a rapidly growing perennial which will get fuller and lusher as it matures. Hosta's are loved by slugs and snails so we recommend growing in containers or in the border surround with plants they dislike such as Asters or Salvia. With its reliability, stability of colour and good resistance to pests and diseases it has earned the RHS Award of Garden Merit. First grade loose root plants supplied.
