This is a case of name
confusion in the hosta world. This plant was registered
with
The American Hosta Society as H.
'Clifford's Forest Fire' but when they were granted a
U.S. patent in 2007,
it was under the name H. 'Forest Fire'. So, two names
for one hosta!
For the information on
this hosta, go to H. 'Clifford's
Forest Fire'.

 United States Patent: PP17644 (2007)
Abstract: A new cultivar of Hosta named ‘Forest
Fire’, a sport of Hosta ‘Sagae’, that is
characterized by its variegated foliage having cordate-shaped
leaves with glaucous green centers and margins that
emerge yellow-green and turn creamy white as the leaf
matures. A combination of new leaves and mature leaves
results in a two-toned effect. The margins of ‘Forest
Fire’ comprise about one fourth of the leaf area.
‘Forest Fire’ is a medium-large sized Hosta with
an upright, mounded habit, and pale lavender flowers
that are held above the foliage in mid summer.
