Hosta ‘Whirlwind’
Plant number: 1.278.910
Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This mid-sized specimen selection has ivory to creamy-yellow leaves with a bold, streaky dark-green margin. Pale lavender flowers appear in August. Also good for planting in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. Easily divided in either spring or fall. Excellent. Fortunei group. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others.
