Hosta Disease??? Help Please...

15 years ago

I have a hosta called 'golden tiara' I believe. This hosta has been divided into many and placed in one large shade garden. All divisions are performing beautiful EXCEPT this one that is staying small and continues to get yellowing leaves with brown edges that lift right out when I pull them....what is causing this to happen and what can I do about it???

Thanks for your time.

It might be planted too deep. The crown should be at the surface.

Sounds like it has rot. Smell the base of the leaves or rub your finger on the crown and see if it stinks...if so, you have rot/blight.

In Illinois, I am guessing rot rather than blight. If it stinks...dig up the chunk, majorly wash off anything slimy and stinky...let it sit in the sun until completely dry and then replant.
