Do they come back?

Post by playinmud »

Hi all. Haven't posted in awhile, but have always been lurking; personal stuff, but coming out on the other side so to speak. Anyway, lost a bunch of hostas this winter (mostly the dwarf varieties) and was out looking at a bed I hadn't checked on since the winter thaw,and there was a hosta there that had disappeared the previous season.question, can they do that, or am I delusional? I've attached a pic (hopefully) of what I believe to be my resurrected Embroidery. One eye, but it's there.

Thanks for input,
Donna a.k.a. Playinmud

Donna, I've moved hostas in the past, and apparently left behind a small piece of crown, and had the same hosta pop up there a year or two later. Maybe there was just a small bit of crown still alive and it gathered strength and emerged again. On my screen I could see 4 leaves of a plant that could be Embroidery.
