Christine,
I've been doing some reading and I've learned that there are actually some hostas that do well in direct sun! Sadly, most need a long cold spell which will be difficult for SoCal. So far I've found 4 (Cathedral Windows, So Sweet, Diana Remembered and montana Aurcomarigurta (sp)) that fit both requirements. Are you aware of any others? And secondly, where do I find them for sale?
Thanks,
Mike
