Hosta deterioration
Hello, I'm new to this group and wondered if you could provide me with a few
answers. I have a Hosta in my garden in Newcastle upon Tyne where the edges of the leaves are browning, shrivelling up and riddled with half inch wide holes. The plant is next to a fence and faces West which means it's in the shade from mid-afternoon onwards. It thrived last year and grew to 48 inches across in the same location, although it was much hotter last Summer. I've done nothing different this year from what I did last year. Thanks in advance for your help. Len -- Len Rowe Photos www.lenrowe.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |

".......... the edges of the leaves are browning, shrivelling up and riddled
