| I have always heard that hostas will grow well in the shade. I would like to know if it will grow on the west side of the house, were it will catch a lot of mid-day and afternoon sun? |
| Hostas struggle in the combined heat and humidity of our southern summers. I think the location you mentioned would be too much for them. If you hope to make a success with hostas, you will need to give them a soil enriched with organic matter and keep them moist but not soggy. They need protection from the hot afternoon sun and in fact, do best with a dappled shade or maybe a little morning sun. |
