Hosta hybrid 'Whirlwind' Common Names: Hosta

Description:

This version of H. 'Fortunei Hyacinthina' has a wide central band of white that contrasts dramatically with the darkest black-green leaf that we have seen. In dense shade, the central variegation tends to fade in the summer. The 3' wide clumps are topped with lavender flowers in midsummer.

Recommendations:

- Plant in spring, in humus-rich soil. - Divide the clumps every third or fourth spring. (Image and Text from Plant Delights)
