I think it has been the advice, in the past, on this forum--to remove the green leaved petiole, all
the way down to the ground. Do it on the 'Spilt Milk', too! It happens, sometimes, that they like
to revert to the parent plant.

Hope it works or that someone else will come on and give you better advice!

Happy hosta-ing!

The "petiole" is the stem by which the leaf is attached to the plant.
It's good to gather all the "odd" leaves together and twist them out of the ground, Take out the whole eye not just the leaf and the petiole.

That makes more since, Linda--thank you for making it clear!
I needed to know that, myself!! :o)

Make that, "makes more sense" since it's the proper word to be used in this instance!
Been a LONG HOT day!
