    About Fire and Ice

    Fire and Ice puts most of its pale color in the middle of the leaf. The dark green edge makes the white center clear even in a mixed planting. This differs from Patriot, whose pale color sits mainly around the outside.

    The AHS registry identifies it as a sport of Patriot. Loyalist is another white-centered plant in the same comparison group, so confirm the name on the nursery label. Fire and Ice suits a spot where individual leaves can be seen. Avoid relying on an edited nursery photo to judge how much white a young plant will carry in your own garden.

    Growing and placing this plant

    Shelter the pale leaf centers from harsh afternoon sun.

    Water at soil level so the crown does not stay wet.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Fire and Ice a sport of Patriot?

    No. It has white-centered leaves with a substantial green border. The plant should not be confused with the spring-white foliage of White Feather.
