First hail of the season yesterday and a few plants are looking a little shredded, but will bounce back (if it ever warms up....)
The hostas often get decimated because they have such broad, tender leaves, but most of mine are in full shade and are just starting to appear so they are unscathed. This one gets a little more sun and has already leafed out so sustained a little damage, but I've seen much worse.
If any plant is damaged, remove only the very shredded leaves, as less damaged ones can still feed the plant. A few hot days and everything will recover (except later in the season, hostas don't recover so well as their growth slows right down in summer).
Thank goodness for sun today.
