Ok, just wait til next spring. In the meantime will it contaminate other plants around it.

Bkay, thanks for the advice.

Even if it was HVX (which it isn't), the only way it would spread is if you use a tool to cut on an infected hosta, and then use that dirty tool to cut on another hosta. Way to be snarky to someone who bothered to answer your post.

Sorry, I did not mean to offend anyone. This my first Hosta season with the houzz I am still learning how to post comments and pictures. I appreciate all the information that I have gotten from other post. Thanks

There is a lot of HVX info at the Hosta Library, and also at the American Hosta Society. (clickable links). Check those out and you will become more familiar as to what to look for.

Dez, the way to make transmission of hvx simple is to think of AIDS. You can sit next to someone with AIDS, breathe the same air, share the same food, etc and you won't get it. You have to exchange fluids. Same with hvx, you have to exchange fluids (plant sap) from one plant to another.

we look for and find ... hvx in spring ...

it is fall .. whether you are in denial or not ... they are slowly in decline until they are frosted to the ground ... and in doing such.. all kinds of weird coloration can occur ...

come back often .. so we can enable you ...

Thanks Babka the Hosta Library is awesome.

Bkay, I work in a lab, great example. Ken this is the first time I have really notice the color changes that occur in Hostas, I have had so much fun with my Hosta this summer I am an addict. Thanks for all the valuable information.
