Paul's glory HVX?

Post by Mamauk »

Greetings from Finland! (sorry, my english isn't so good)

Help needed. I'am newbie with hostas. I have had some hostas (got from friends) in my garden couple years. This year I bought several new hostas from nursery garden.

I have bought Paul's glory this year and now I'am wondering does it have HVX. I tried to look pictures of sick hostas, mut I need your expertise. I'm quite sure Paul's glory is sick?

I have also two other hostas which are worrying me. I post them in own message.

Thank you beforehand.

Welcome to the forums, but I am sorry that it had to be because of HVX.

Yes, this looks like it could be HVX, or some other virus, but most likely HVX. The newer leaves aren't showing anything yet but those green spots and markings look like a virus. :(

Sorry :(

Thanks for quick answer. I will put it away and take soil off.

Now I am much wiser when I buy new hostas. I did not know about this disease until now.
