General: Hostas originally come from Japan, Korea, China and Russia. The perennials have many dense, basal leaves and isolated racemose inflorescences. In addition, the plants reproduce superficially through rhizomes. The leaves die off after the growing season, only to be rubbed out again the following year. Today, several thousand species have emerged from the wild species that find their place in ornamental gardens.
Special features of the variety: The “Fire and Ice” funkia is one of the ornamental foliage shrubs thanks to its two-colored leaves. The center of the leaf is creamy white and surrounded by a dark green leaf margin. The decorative flowers in July and August also make the plant very suitable as a side plant at a bonsai exhibition and as a decorative accent plant within the private bonsai collection.
