What type or brand of fungicide did you use? Just curious?

I concure with you Cereus-validus. I went to McKay's used book store
in Knoxvegas today and found a book on plant diseases and despite
that it only covered what appeared as fruits and vegetable diseases,
I found an anthrachnose disease on something that resembled the
markings on the hosta exactly. A fungicide will help and removal of
infected leaves and sent to the landfill and not
composted......(spraying fungicide got rid of anthrachnose on a
dogwood I bought infected with it from the nursery and despite that
it didn't bloom, the leaves didn't horribly shrivel and drop off like
they did last year)

After seeing the picture on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens,
I would go along with Vox and say it is probably Hosta anthracnose:

You humid spring has only aggravated the problem.

Aha! Now we are getting somewhere.

I look forward to seeing the picture of the plant in question.
I posted on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens called "brown edges on my
hosta plant". This occurs every year only to this variety. There is
another variegated variety next to this one that is fine. Thanks
again.

Seeing the picture would help in being able to determine whether
it is an environmental cause or a virus problem affecting the
plant.

Exactly where on the freaking planet are you?

What is has the temperature been the past few days?

When is the last time you watered the plants?

Which 'variety" is it that is having the problem? Is it a
variegate?

You cannot post pictures to this newsgroup. Try
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens instead.


Ok. I'm located in Dayton, OH. It's been warm and humid but these
plants do this every year regardless of temp or moisture. I don't
know the variety but the leaves are about 12 inches across and
variegated. the next time I post a picture it will be to the ng
you mentioned. Thanks.

I have two of these big hosta plants on the north side of my
home. They're beautiful except the edges of the leaves turn
brown. There's another variety next to them that doesn't have
this problem. Is it problem with this variety? I don't think
it's too much sun but maybe for this variety it is. Possibly a
soil deficiency? Any help is appreciated. Please see attached
picture for example (I don't know if I should be posting a
picture to this group but not sure how to show example
otherwise). Thanks for any help!
