Hosta Fire Island Qt.

Hosta ‘Fire Island’ is a distinctive and highly sought-after shade perennial known for its striking color contrast and unique structure. Introduced by Bill Brincka in 1998, this variety stands out with greenish-yellow leaves paired with vivid red petioles that persist throughout the entire growing season.

The broadly ovate leaves are intensely wavy, with flat margins and a slightly shiny upper surface that contrasts with a more muted underside. This combination of texture and color creates dynamic visual interest in shaded garden spaces.

In summer, ‘Fire Island’ produces tubular lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, followed by green seed pods that add subtle seasonal interest. Its bold stems and bright foliage make it an excellent focal point in hosta collections, borders, or woodland gardens.

With parentage from H. longipes hypoglauca and ‘Crested Surf’, this cultivar brings together strong genetics and reliable garden performance.
