3 Hostas MIA...Should i be concerned?

9 years ago

Good afternoon. I live near Charlotte, NC in zone 7b. The vast majority of my hostas are up and thriving, but have 3 that I bought last year from landofthegiants that have yet to come up and I'm starting to fear that didn't make it. Victory, lady Isobel Barnett, and sum and substance. All of the others that I bought at the same time were a bit later than the rest but have been up at least 2 weeks now. Should I start looking for replacements?

Nah, just start GENTLY looking for eyes (dormant buds) just below the soil surface. Or aren't you sure exactly where you planted them. That has happened to me before. ;-)

Lady Isobel must have heard me complaining and has decided to show up for the party! Now for the other 2! (Thanks for the response)

As you can see, I just posted about 3 MIAs as well. I dug gently around my I.D. upright posts, and there was nothing there. That's why I'm asking about the 3 replacements.
