Re: hosta links / vinca

Hi Joanie,

Christopher is right. It is entirely possible that you have other 
problems that might just be weather related.

You can get hostas tested to see if a plant is infected. You could call 
your county extension office to see if they have, or can get, ELISA 
kits. This would give you a better idea on how to proceed.
