Leaf damage on my hosta

5 years ago

Hello, I have planted this small hosta which I believe is a 'Golden Tiara' this year. It

started showing leaf damage a few weeks ago. In some places the damage looks restricted by veins. Therefore, I have thought that it may be caused by nematodes?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

severe water stress ....

water it deeply ... and add mulch to maintain moisture at root level .... you must insure it goes into dormancy/winter fully hydrated ....

and keep in mind.. its is officially sept... they are all going downhill .... the uglies are coming ... no way around it ... so dont freak out with every little change ...

I was going to say similair to ken……most hostas are starting to look somewhat ratty by Sept. so I would’nt worry. I have a number that are declining now………so do most of the other forum members. It’s just the cycle of the garden.
