Overview
Registered in 1988 by E. Smith and the American Hosta Society, Hosta 'Spinners' is a large-sized cultivar of unknown parentage. It is visually distinguished by its green leaves with margins that emerge yellow and mature to white.
In the Garden
'Spinners' performs best in partial to full shade, where its variegated foliage remains most stable. Mature plants reach a large size, with leaves up to 0 inches (0.0 cm) long and 0 inches (0.0 cm) wide, forming a substantial clump suitable for mid-border or woodland garden positions. It pairs well with ferns, astilbes, and other shade-tolerant perennials that complement its green-and-white foliage.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, particularly in dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. As with most hostas, slug and deer damage may occur; monitor regularly and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
