This spring I had a small 'Spilt Milk' come up about 6 inches away from
where the large plant had been last fall. I dug the small 'Spilt Milk'
and found that it had grown from a piece of rhizome that I had missed.
This piece of rhizome was about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter and
did not look at all like a Hosta root. It looked more like a piece of
underground wire grass.

I find this to be a regular occurrence on some Hosta-especially those that
are semi to fully Stoloniferous. You can also have this occur when the plant
is planted deeper in the soil and the elongated stems root.
