    Oh wow Bal, how exciting!  I don't know the answer to your question but I'm sure someone on the forum will.

    I have gold standard, but a couple of them seem to have a virus so they might have to head to council re-cycling.I don't even want them in my compost bins.

    It does prefer sun, if it's too shady the gold becomes green.

    Back from the shops ... and I seem to have purchased two lovely new hostas. Lady Belle and Dinner Jacket.   Ha ha, not sure how that happened!  My hosta corner will now contain 9 lovely hostas.

    Hostafan, what does the hosta virus look like on the hostas?  Is it specific to the Gold Standard?

    Oh, how awful.  I found this link on the Hosta Virus X

    http://www.inthecountrygardenandgifts.com/articles/hosta_virus_x.php

    which will hopefully help everyone on this forum at least be aware of what it looks like.

    Thanks Hostafan for raising our awareness on this.
