Description
‘Fire & Ice’ is one of the most exciting Hosta to come along, in a long time. It is a reverse sport of the widely admired ‘Patriot’ and forms attractive compact mounds of twisted, striking pure-white leaves edged in a rich green. The dense mounds of foliage are topped with very pretty, long-lasting, lavender flowers in summer that your hummingbirds and butterflies will appreciate.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a clump 14 to 16 inches tall and up to 2 feet wide, the Fire & Ice Hosta is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, massed as a groundcover, or as border along walkways and paths in shady landscape borders. We have no problem at all suggesting Fire & Ice for use in home foundation plantings. It is perfect under large shade trees, decks, covered porches and any other shady location. Don’t think you have any shade? Look on the east side of your home. Excellent for use in pots, planters and other containers and a fine addition to mixed hosta gardens, hummingbird gardens, woodland gardens, and white theme gardens.Â
Spacing:Â 15 to 18 inches for mass plantings; 36 inches or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences
Fire & Ice Hosta is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and shade or part shade. Morning and evening sun and all-day filtered sun or dappled shade are fine, but avoid the direct afternoon sun. No pruning necessary though spent flower stems can be removed after flowering.

My hosta arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition although I was hoping it would of been a little bigger, but it was beautiful. The only thing I wish I had done is put a barrier around it cause to the deer it looked delicious fortunately they left enough to replant praying my beautiful hosta recovers.

This hosta is eye popping! Is great for a contrast and looks sharp! They sent a nice healthy plant that I split into 3 pieces and planted in a row. I was looking for something shady that would provide spark and this was perfect!
Plant came in good condition. Ordered several different plants and this company did not trim the plants so they could jam them all in one shipping box (like I’ve had other online companies do). They fit what could comfortably fit and shipped more than one box. It’s obvious they care about the quality they ship out. They went to the top of my online order list! And the plant was a nice size and healthy.——————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Plant in 1 gallon arrived as a gift in Pensacola FL to an experienced gardener. She said plant arrived packaged very well and in good condition a bit small in size. TBD in the future how this beautiful HOSTA grows.————————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
This lovely plant is attention-getting in the clarity of the white and green. It stands out and is the first your eye glimpses in your shade garden. I love them!

Like everything Wilson Bros ships, the plants arrived in perfect condition…but, as always, it remains to be seen whether they thrive & how they mature. I had been hoping that the “ice” of “Fire & Ice” wd be pure white to complement the other plants in my “white garden,” but right now, the “ice” looks creamy-yellow. Too early to tell! But if they thrive/mature as I hope, I will be ordering a few more!——————————————-The plant should mature to white/ice. keep us posted. We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
Just arrived a couple of weeks ago. They came in good shape. Went right into the ground. They seem to be doing fine so far. Very hot on the East Coast so they have been watered a lot. We’ll know more later but a good start so far.——————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
The shipment arrived without problem, for which I thank your packing team. I still can’t believe how perfect the plants are after shipping all that way! I will order from you again.
I gently took them out of the packing, watered them, left them on the kitchen counter last night and this morning, since it is showering, put them on the back deck.
Now, if you could help me do something about the squirrels on my bird feeders!
Thanks again for making a delightful Mother’s Day!————————————————Yea, we can’t figure out how to keep those critters off the bird feeders either. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review and the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I receive the Fire & Ice Hosta recently in perfect condition. I planted it in a pot within a week and placed it in our back yard under our black ash tree where it is getting filtered light. It is doing good there and I am really looking forward to seeing it spread out and grow bigger.

My plants were received as expected. The packaging was awesome making sure the products were secure so nothing became dislodged during shipping and sufficiently watered with damp toweling. I was extremely impressed with the vivid colors of my Hosta”s and how healthy they looked. I have planted them and am anxiously waiting to see them blossom.————————————–Hi Donna, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Fire & Ice Hosta Lily.
