Re: Virus or Just Ugly

Thank you Chris. They're coming out along with all the dirt. I did realize I have two Hostas on the other side of that fence, but not seeing any signs of trouble. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Need to make a road trip to visit your place- we're in Kalamazoo, not far.

Re: On Stage with virus

I threw the plant out. Took Chris's advice on not wasting the test kit on this one. Through other groups on facebook several folks agreed it did not look like HVX but some other virus. The two plants that came in the order look fine but I will keep them planted separate in pots from the rest of my H...

Re: Virus or Just Ugly

David I can't remember any serious late frost happening this year. None of the other Hostas had any signs of damage. The second flush leaves coming up clean is what I wondered about also. In one photo of the smaller leaf, you can see the beginning of the puckering starting on the upper left. Again I...

Re: On Stage with virus

Thank you, This was fresh out of the box after a hot two-days travel. The other two plants actually looked very nice and were large. The downside is they were all in the same box together. Believe me I have no intention of keeping the plant. The seller refunded my money after I raised concern, so no...

Re: Virus or Just Ugly

Thank you Chris. These are not close to my other Hostas, but now I'm nervous. Here are two closeup images, maybe that helps.

Virus or Just Ugly

Hello, I've had this small Hosta in my front garden for several years. It has always been a mess not looking very pretty, but I never thought to be concerned. Now after becoming very interested in Hostas, I'm beginning to question if this is a sick plant or has a virus. This year the plant came in l...

On Stage with virus

Hello, It was suggested to me that I post a photo here of a plant that was recently sent as a "gift" along with an order recently purchased. The other plants had no sign of problems, but none have been put into my garden. The hole is older bug damage. The spots are what I am questioning. Is it HVX o...
