 It has been a busy week in school.  Started a pests and disease class last
 night. The teacher is a wholesale grower from Midland Michigan.  One of the
 things he talked about was daylily spring sickness.  He explained that this
 results when the plants start growing during a warm spell and then cold
 comes back.  Claims they straighten out when the weather straightens out.
 Is this true or does it mean the leaves are deformed for the rest of the
 season?

 Is there a similar problem with hostas  >>
Hi All!

Once a hosta leaf is deformed , by cold, for instance, it remains deformed in
my experience. I remove the leaf by making a clean cut just below ground
level. A new leaf should appear--although smaller than it ordinarily would
have been.
