Hostas go dormant in the winter. when this starts happening in the fall the leaves will wilt, turn brown and then totally disapear. all the leaves on mine are already gone for the year.

Where are you located z8?

I'm in central Texas

Welcome to the wonderful world of hostas! My hostas are about to go dormant. There are a few that just don't want to go to sleep. The front moving in by Thursday should finish them all off for the winter. I lost several hostas last winter, but I am hoping for better survival this winter. I used to just let the pecan leaves pile up around my hostas, but I am going to clean out all the leaves around them this year. I think that I set myself up for crown rot and critter damage by leaving the leaves in my beds. It couldn't be any worse to remove them, and I think the hostas need to be exposed to the cold in our climate.
