As the leaves go slimy just put them on the compost, the whole thing will disappear soon. You say it hasn’t looked like this before, have you managed to keep it in the green in previous years?

First season never had hosta before thanks for the reply
As it's in a pot you would do well to make sure the pot is sheltered from extreme cold and wet this winter. I take mine into unhetaed shelter and start watering lightly again in spring as the daffs show their foliage. Bring the pots out again when the bullet shaped shoots start to show. I sometimes think watching those shoots show and slowly unfurl is the best bit of hosta growing.

I’d always found hostas a bit boring until I got to know them in their gorgeous autumn colours ... fantastic yellows 😎 ... they’re beginning to look beautiful just now ... hopefully the soggy wet weather won’t cause this stage to be over too quickly.

Brilliant, they don’t get slugs eaten so much as the others.
Mine were eaten terrible by slugs this year as I tried organic friendly to wildlife slug pellets for the first time. I can confirm they are friendly to wildlife as they don't even kill slugs

Did the one I sent you take Dove? I can send another if it’s a better time of the year?

Look at the gorgeous colour of Fire & Ice at the top left of the pic. 😊
