Re: Possible virus on Grand Tiara?

Thanks, Chris. It's now been dug up and put in the garbage.

Nutrient deficiency, stress, or virus?

I bought an Empress Wu hosta (grown by Proven Winners) from a local specialist nursery on July 27. It's showing some yellow discolouration and mottling along the edge of the largest leaf. It's still in the pot it came in, so I'm wondering whether it might be stress, a nutrient deficiency, or possibl...

Hello from Chelsea, Quebec!

Hi everyone! Glad I discovered this forum! I'm a relative newbie to shade gardening, although I bought my first three hostas about 15 years ago. Last year I ran out of space for sun-loving perennials and this year, finally decided to get going on the shade garden I've wanted for years. I love hostas...
