In The Country Exclusive! Limited first release [S-M] Get ready for a spectacular light show with Hosta 'Electric Fire'! This dynamic hybrid from Doug Ruff, creator of the groundbreaking Hosta 'Bloodline', is a dazzling, color-changing stunner. It will light up your spring garden like a blazing fire, and be warned: everyone who sees it, wants it! This extraordinary hosta emerges in spring with a breathtaking display: bright yellow leaves flash with intense red blushing through the veins and across the leaf, all held on deep, saturated red petioles. This blazing blush is most pronounced during cool, sunny spring days, but lasts longer than 'Light the Match', holding into early summer here in Iowa. As summer arrives, the blush gently fades, leaving behind vibrant bright yellow leaves that slowly transition to a lively chartreuse green. New growth continues to show hints of the red blush throughout the season. With good leaf substance, 'Electric Fire' can even handle a couple hours of direct sun, which helps develop the best blushing. Its unique genetics allow for a natural reddish "sunscreen" effect on emerging leaves, ensuring a brilliant performance that lasts! (D. Ruff)
