Pollination Info
Fire and Ice Hosta (Hosta 'Fire & Ice') Pollination Info
Fire and Ice Hosta (Hosta 'Fire & Ice') is a sterile plant that does not produce viable seeds. As a result, it is unable to reproduce on its own. Pollination is not necessary for this Hosta's propagation as it must be propagated via vegetative means such as division or tissue culture rather than seed.
However, it is still beneficial for the plant's health to attract pollinators to the garden. Pollination not only leads to fruit and seed production but also encourages the overall health and vitality of the plant.
To attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to the garden, consider planting other flowers and plants nearby. Flowers such as lavender, chamomile, and salvia are known to attract these beneficial insects. Additionally, avoiding the use of harmful pesticides can help to preserve the natural pollinators in your garden.
