Description

Hosta 'Forbidden Fruit' PBR is a stunning tetraploid sport of the popular 'Orange Marmalade' variety, introduced by Marco and Joyce Fransen from the Netherlands. This medium-sized perennial showcases exceptionally thick, variegated leaves with a glowing golden-yellow to pale orange center dramatically contrasted by wide blue-green margins. Perfect for adding vibrant color to shaded landscape areas with minimal maintenance requirements.

A tempting addition to shade gardens

The 'Forbidden Fruit' Hosta offers landscape professionals and garden designers several outstanding features that make it a valuable addition to any shade planting scheme:

  • Thick, slug-resistant foliage that maintains its beauty throughout the growing season
  • Striking color combination with golden-yellow to pale orange centers surrounded by blue-green margins
  • Elegant lavender flowers on 24-inch stems that appear in mid to late summer
  • Excellent heat tolerance compared to many other hosta varieties
  • Mature spread of approximately 36 inches, creating substantial ground coverage
  • Superior vigor due to its tetraploid genetics, resulting in more robust growth
  • Versatile application in borders, containers, and woodland gardens

The vibrant foliage creates a focal point in shaded areas where many plants struggle to provide visual interest, making it an essential component of thoughtful landscape designs.

Planting and care information

Plant 'Forbidden Fruit' in partial to full shade locations, avoiding hot afternoon sun exposure. This versatile hosta thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil with high organic content, adapting well to various soil types including clay. Space plants 24-36 inches apart to accommodate mature spread. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, it requires minimal maintenance beyond consistent watering during dry periods. For best results, apply compost or balanced fertilizer in spring and remove spent foliage at season's end to maintain plant health.
