Jesse - interesting the yellow that you have in your 'Loyalist' leaves. I've not seen that before. Very pretty.
I think 'Loyalist' wants a bit of morning sun to do really well. At least mine gets some. I've found over the years that hostas planted in full shade rarely do well. Most of them like more sun than we give them credit for but most would rather not have hot afternoon sun and the higher your zone number, perhaps less sun because it's likely to be stronger sun.
