Re: [SG] Brim Cup death

Kay:

Here in Davenport, Iowa, my 'Brim Cup is doing well and getting
larger every year. HOWEVER, I am noticing extreme cupping and
wrinkling as the years go by. It doesn't seem to be as attractive as
it was in younger years. It is not dying yet though, so I guess that
is a plus! When one of mine starts to get smaller, I move it and
usually that takes care of the problem. Haven't had to do that with
many, but some. 'Big Daddy' was one though and as a result it still
is not huge and I've had it since 1987.

recent rains.

<>Brim Cup for me in central Illinois was a must have for many of the
growers
here when it was first introduced.  I watched mine get smaller each
year until
it eventually disappeared.  I think the same happened to others.  Has
anyone
else experienced this?

 The 'Brim Cup' is my favourite but has recently developed a bright
 golden-yellow colouration.  Only the green part is turning the
 golden-yellow, although the white edge is showing some 'melting out'.
  Is it
 getting too much sun?  Last year, I did not have a problem, and the
other
 two Hostas do not show any similar symptoms.  We have however, been
having
 an fairly dry spring, although we did receive quite abit of rain in
the last
 couple of days.
