These GE Hosta are growing in 1/2 day full shade 3 hours full sun and remainder sprinkled sunlight.
They are directly into the sandy loam soil which remains damp year round.... at an altitude of 9,800 ft in a cool shady canyon about 15 yards from a bubbling brook.
The atmosphere is dry except a slightly dampness from the shady creek. A cool breeze flows down the canyon 24/7. Temperatures never exceed 76 Degrees F.
