Nursery Notes
Propagate by division. It is worth noting that whirlwind is colour susceptible to temperature and age.
Opinion
A useful hosta that is vigorous and exceptional as ground cover. There is always a degree of uncertainty around whirlwind because its always so sensitive to light and that can vary with each years weather, its very much a movable feast, whatever you get will be great but you can't be sure what's on the f***ing menu.
