"
-- After removing an HVX infected plant, a healthy hosta planted in the
same location can be infected up to two years later. (Note that two years
was the duration of this research project.) No one was more surprised by
this finding than Dr. Lockhart. Previously the general recommendation was
to allow 4 to 6 weeks after removing a virused hosta before replanting.
Based on this research another hosta should not be replanted in the same
location. "
Remove the plant. Do not put it in your Burn it or put it in the garbage. Sterilize your tools. Do not plant hosta where the infected plant was.
