Claubill,

My hostas behave the same way in regards to some of them producing seeds and others not. I also noticed that last year my Fancis Williams gave out a lot of seeds, but this year looks like nothing at all. Not sure why...

Fire and Ice should be growing faster than what you describe. How long has it been there? If new this year, I wouldn't worry, but if older, there might be something underground or in the soil in that area which could be holding it back. I've heard of folks having to split this one in their third year.
