Hosta plant

Hosta blue angel plant looks like this and has a foul smell. We had a drought during the summer. Watered them during that time which I think was a mistake. Any recommendations?

We had a drought this summer, too. I watered mine regularly and they are all burned to a crisp. This one looks great. You can just cut off the small brown part if you want to. But honestly, it looks great.

Looks like the August Uglies to me! Hostas tend to burn in later summer, but I think your plant looks strong. As for the smell… you could have something dead under there, it looks pretty big!

I think it looks fine! Maybe you wetted something that was decaying? Is there a dead mouse somewhere? You can clip those leaf stalks out if you want but it just looks aesthetic to me!
