Hosta Fireworks, Hosta 'Fireworks' (PP#16,062), is a small sport of Hosta 'Loyalist' with very unique, upright foliage. The creamy white leaves of 'Fireworks' are very narrow and have a two-tone green margin that streaks around the edges. At only 10" high, Hosta 'Fireworks' is perfect for the smaller garden. Add a small sized blast of thick green and white leaves to your garden with this hardy hosta, and it will regale you with delicate lavender flowers in early summer! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas. They are most at home in shady, woodland settings and often work well as specimen or edging plants.
