HVX virus warning for all hosta purchasers

While I'm not here to specifically name any nurseries, I will say to anyone out there purchasing hostas in New Berlin, be on the lookout for HVX virus. There is a reputable nursery selling hostas, field grown, with HVX virus. I took them back and they gave me a full refund, but as I perused the rest of the stock, there were some hostas that were questionable. The hostas I returned were Paradigm, and had very obvious tissue collapse (when I purchased I could only see eyes and hadn't attempted to plant until I returned from vacation at which point HVX was visible on the outgrowth).

You don't want to bring this virus into your garden as it stays in your soil. I wouldn't purchase hostas from them again.
