= 'Fortunei Antioch'= 'Moerheim'= 'Spinners'= 'Yellow Boy'= 'Fortunei Aureo-marmorata'.
Originated by Cynthia Tompkins (mother of Chet) at the old Wayside Gardens (1920s).
In the early 1980's Wayside Gardens had 1500 H. Antioch and wholesaled half of them to Holland and half to England. Wayside did not send the name with the plants. Eventually they became H. Moerheim and H. Spinners [Malloy/Ruh].
There are several white edged sports of 'Fortunei' going under the name of 'Antioch'.
It is said that very wide borders that often encompass a green trident in the center of the leaf is a hallmark of the real Antioch.
Differs from H. 'Fortunei Albomarginata' in its longer and more pointed leaves.
24" tall. Part sun to light shade. A dense plant. Green leaves with wide yellowish creamy white margins and light to dark green mottling. Pale lavender flowers.
Very large, green centered leaves with white edges.
A very popular hosta. 25 -75 % shade.
A well grown clump of this giant defies description... I'll try anyway. The wide white margins accent the leaf center featuring two shades of green. The wide spreading beauty to 5' is topped with pale lavender flowers in July... spectacular!
A beautiful mound of dark green leaves with creamy-white margins; lav. flowers.
One of the best white margined hostas. Margin color starts out yellow and turns white. A great showy hosta which holds it's leaves up individually so you can admire the cream to white irregular edge with the mat green center as it waterfalls down. Large leaves with tapered point. The irregular margin guarantes that no two leaves are alike! (Plant 36x20)
Mottled green leaves with a wide, irregular, creamy white edge.
