8/13/13: Two clumps of spikes. The larger seems to be doing good. Leaves ought to unfurl in a day or two. The second clump seem to be doing ok, but I suspect because of the depth of the growth bud they will not survive. These leaves are trying to open but won't be able to because of their depth (and soil around them). This would suggest that even though hosta can 'correct themselves' the depth of the growth eyes does make a great difference of how far they can 'correct'
