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) madgardener "Cereus-validus" wrote in message m... After seeing the picture on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens, I would go along with Vox and say it is probably Hosta anthracnose: http://www.extension.umn.edu/yardand...-June1502.html http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/focus/per_hosta.html You humid spring has only aggravated the problem.

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. "Big Time" wrote in message ...

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. "Big Time" wrote in message ... 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!
