HVX on Sun Power?

Post by sis20001 »

Hi, I purchased this at a popular Detroit area nursery. This plant looks more than stressed because I let it dry out a few times. What do you think? Thanks for your help, sis

That last picture would seal the deal for me...it's looks like HVX to me. I'd wait for a few others, but if it was me - I'd return it/toss it.

Sorry. :(

Hi Sis,

Yes, that is Hosta Virus X on Sun Power. I agree with Mike, return it or pitch it :(

Thanks guys for your help. I will return it so the store will be informed. This time my procrastination paid off. It's getting harder to find trust worthy sources. This nursery is very popular. Is there anything that can be done to inform the gardeners in this area? Thanks again for all that you do to keep us informed. Bless you guys! sis
