Hosta Winnebago Cyclone OS

Hosta ‘Winnebago Cyclone’ is a bold and highly collectible hosta from Steven Schrage’s Winnebago line, known for strong genetics and distinctive foliage. This offering is OS (Originator’s Stock), indicating plants sourced directly from the originator’s original breeding stock and used only when verifiable.

The foliage displays green leaves with energetic yellow streaking radiating through the leaf blade, creating a dynamic, swirling appearance that gives this cultivar its name. As with streaked hostas, pattern expression may vary slightly, adding individuality and strong collector appeal to each plant.

‘Winnebago Cyclone’ develops into a substantial clump, reaching approximately 24 inches tall and 48 inches wide, giving it commanding presence in the garden. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in season, adding a soft floral contrast without distracting from the dramatic leaves.

An exceptionally rare Winnebago introduction combining size, movement, verified originator stock, and extreme scarcity.
