Hosta "Sea Fire" review
Eunice Fisher Distinguished Merit Award winner 2006. Radiant gold in spring, green in summer. Intense yellow foliage early in the spring, fading to chartreuse in summer. One of the brightest gold leaves I have seen, especially in the spring, when it is a real standout. The leaves darken a bit to greenish gold in the summer. Lavender flowers. Intense light golden-yellow leaves emerge with red petioles in spring, becoming medium green in August. Deep lavender flowers and dark reddish green scapes in mid-summer. Gold leaves with red petiole stems in spring; changes to medium green by mid summer. Lavendar flowers in August; new gold leaves in late summer.
