Hi dreamie. Here is the link to the Hosta Library which has some great info about HVX along with pictures of what it looks like.

Here is a link that might be useful: HVX report from the Hosta LIbrary

Good books:
- The Hosta Handbook, Zilis (out of print)
- (The new Zilis book (coming in the (near) future))
- The Color Encyclopedia of Hostas, Grenfell

thank you both so much for the information. I am sorry to say that I may have seen that HVX in my garden darn it anyway. Now I will be nail biting till my plants come up and show themselves.

About that list on the hosta library... am I to understand that if you stay away from the listed hosta's, you should be more likely to avoid this virus?

What about buying hosta's mail order? How can I avoid nurserys where they have this disease? I have only ever bought semps from a mail order nursery before. Does this virus spread to other varieties of plants or is it just a hosta thing?

thanks in advance

Dreamie
