Re: Hosta Disease?

I have a hosta, albo marginata which has a problem. The stalks are rotting
off at the base of the plant. I just found it today. There doesn't appear to
be any insects or slugs and I noticed the leaves were turning yellow. I
checked closer to find the cause and when I touched the stalks they just
fell off. I looked at the base and there is some white stuff around it. The
stalks appeared to be rotting. Is this something I need to be concerned
about spreading to other hosta? Should I destroy the plants? I have two of
them so far in different places that are doing it. Both of them are albo
marginata. Any insight on this condition would be appreciated. Thanks
