Hosta "Trade Wind" review
'Trade Winds'. Streaked breeder:** 2 toned green with white streaking, shiny above and glaucous bloom underneath. Broadly ovate with a cordate base. Lightly corrugated with heavy thick substance. Lavender flowers. Quickly sports to 'Second Wind' and 'Whirlwind' all in the same plant at the same time. The streaked version of like Hosta 'Whirlwind' (Kulpa-90), gives streaked viridescent seedlings, two tone green, real different, well worth it.
