Plant Type: Hostas

The brilliant yellow leaves of ‘Fire Island’ are accented by light red petioles with red coloration extending into the base of the leaves. Although the intensity of the foliage lessens into the summer, the intense spring effect more than earns its keep in the garden. Lavender blooms top the clump in summer.
