Hosta Looking Rough

[umbo514]

Andy, reaching out to you about the weird weather we've been having and what its done to our hosta. With the early warm up this year, a lot of the hosta emerged early to be greeted with a handful of frosts in April. They look like they were beaten up, very soft and droopy. I know they're resilient, but any chance the leaves that emerged will strengthen or will they have to send up their 2nd batch of leaves to look back to normal?

Soft and droopy doesn't sound good - that sounds like they were frozen recently.

I can tell you this - very often Hosta will put out new spikes/leaves, but the plants often look smaller and thinner.
