| What USDA zone are you in? Is this a recent planting, or one you've had a few years? It's my understanding they can put back out after being cut to the ground. Richard. |

| Unless the freeze was a severe one, the plant will probably grow a new flush of leaves on the existing branches. The things that Richard brought up can be determining factors, too. |

| thanks for responding they have been planted at least 5 years ,they are quite large maybe 10 feet tall .we are in zone 6 . well im not sure how hard a freeze we had but all the hosta survived without much damage . hank |

| I'd not worry about it. It does sap a great deal of energy from a plant to be forced to grow a second round of foliage, but if they were healthy in the first place, most plants are able to recover nicely. |
