Hosta ‘Island Breeze’

'Island Breeze' is a bold golden Hosta with green margins and red petioles and flower scapes with purple flowers.

Hosta ‘Island Breeze’ is a sport of ‘Paradise Island’ with more impressive variegation due to its wider margins, thicker leaf substance and a stronger growth rate. The leaves have wide, dark green margins standing in sharp contrast to the bright yellow centers and are held on red speckled petioles that bleed up into the leaves. The flowers are dark lavender and held on red scapes. Photo: Walters Gardens, Inc.
