Island Breeze 12"T X 18"W

$16.00

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'.

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. 

Cold Hardiness: U.S.D.A. Zones 3 to 9 - Hostas require a minimum of 40 days of around 40 degrees farenheit. Hosta plants tend to grow larger in the North. In the South you may need to be more selective in the varieties of hostas that you choose.
Light Requirements: Partial sun, filtered shade, morning sun. - Most hostas will tolerate some sun if the soil is kept reasonably moist. Morning sun or filtered sun is the best for hostas but avoid mid-day sun as it will burn the leaves.
Water Requirements: Keep soil constantly moist avoiding any areas where water may puddle
Fertilizer Requirements: In early Spring apply a light amount of slow-release fertilizer. Avoid getting any fertilizer on the leaves.

    Online order

    I purchased among others an Island Breeze hosta on my recent visit to Atlanta. It is my new favorite. I loved it so much I ordered more online and was stunned at how large they were. Bigger than I thought they would be. Very well packed. Long clean moist roots and no damaged leaves. I'll never be afraid to order online from Pine Forest Gardens. Thanks a million.

    Hostas

    Bought 8 large hostas which were shipped in the unique way they do them - all roots wrapped in newspaper and enclosed in a plastic bag with water to keep them moist - and they arrived during the hottest part of the summer - still green and very much alive! I put them into large containers with some good potting soil and they perked up over night. They're in a sheltered place for a week to let them get even stronger, but they are beautiful! Best hostas for the best price ever!
