Hostasâ emergence in spring depends on the cultivar, the vernalization period and the air temperature. Hostas emerge quicker when the temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees. The number of hosta leaves that emerge in spring depends on how many eyes the tuber has when planted. Each eye should produce new growth which, at first, appears as a tightly rolled, pointed structure. These are bud scales and they will open and curl back, allowing three to four leaves to emerge.
