5 Whirlwind hosta

HOSTA, ZONES 3 TO 8

Light green swirls seem to move inside dark green leaves and add drama to shady spaces. The intrigue in Monrovia’s Whirlwind hostas can’t be overstated. The color of the center changes throughout the growing season from a creamy white to light green to dark green. Hummingbirds may visit the pale lavender blooms.

Why we love it:

Its low-maintenance nature helps this hosta perform well in rural gardens and city plots.
