looking at anthracnose? Hosta..

christinmk z5b eastern WA
9 years ago

I'm not sure if this is anthracnose or some fungal type of leaf spot. There are brown shrunken spots on a couple of my hostas, occurring mostly on the borders and tips. Darker brown ring around the tan spots.

Anyone seen this before? A hosta I have out front first started showing this foliar problem a year or two ago, now another one on a backyard hosta this year (haven't moved or divided any hostas between the two gardens).

Any ideas/advice appreciated!
