My hosta is losing its stripes #880356
Asked August 06, 2024, 8:18 AM EDT
My green and white hosta is turning green. It's already flowered once. I read online that it can't grow back. I don't know what variety it is but I transplanted it from another section of my yard. Our yard used to been pretty shady with 4 trees but we've cut down a lot of the trees to allow more sun for grad to grow. Our yard was mostly moss before. We've scraped and seeded grass. Now the yard gets full sun and later in the afternoon the neighbor's trees give later afternoon shade (after 5pm). Our soil is pretty acidic and we've been trying to correct it over the past two years. The green leaves appear less wavy and some parts have not turned fully. But the new leaves look like they might come in green. How do I know if it's greening because it's the kind that turns green towards the later part of the season versus reversion? Is it too late to cut away the green leaves or could I split the plant?
