Description

  • First came ‘Fire Island’ which was followed by its variegated progeny ‘Paradise Island’
  • Now there is ‘Island Breeze’ which is the third member of this “tropical” family and a sport of ‘Paradise Island’
  • Improvements in this cultivar include more impressive variegation due to its wider margins, thicker leaf substance, and a strong growth rate
  • Wide, dark green margins stand in sharp contrast to the bright yellow centers in early spring
  • As summer approaches, the centers become more chartreuse when plants are grown in heavier shade or lighter yellow if they are grown in more sun
  • Like ‘Paradise Island’, this one also has showy red speckled petioles that bleed up into the leaves
  • Dark lavender flowers appear on reddish green scapes in midsummer
  • Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today’s gardens due to their versatility in the landscape
  • Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve
  • Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage
  • Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
  • Height: 12 foliage 28 flower inches
  • Spread: 18 inches
