Medium sized hosta for full sun?
Comments (18)Anyone know a June sized hosta that can take my Zone 5b afternoon sun??? Sun tolerance isn't as much a Zone related matter as it is an issue of the angle of incidence of the sun, as well as altitude. The farther North you are the more tolerant hostas will be of full-sun exposure. I'm just north of the 49th parallel, at sea level, and I have a great many hostas in full sun and by full sun I mean sun exposure well in excess of 6 hours a day. The steeper the angle of incidence the more heat is focused on the leaves which will result in melting of the glaucous coating that gives us blue hostas, leaving a kind of blotchy look where parts of the leaves will be green and other parts still blue. If you can put yourself beyond the blotchy appearance the plant will thrive provided you keep it well hydrated. I have a sizable stand of 'Golden Tiara' that sees full sun from about noon to 8PM and it thrives as long as I keep it watered...a nearby 'Empress Wu' however looks a little ratty but I rather suspect I haven't accounted for her being a much thirstier plant, larger leaves, much more transpiration....

Comments (28)I always appreciate that people provide comments, even if well after the original posting date, as I am one who researches things and may be awhile going forth with a project. However, this bathroom update was completed months ago. I chose the larger tiles and am glad I did. BTW, the tile manufacturer will provide details on tile layout. This happened to be an Italian porcelain tile and, as far as offset, it needed to be in thirds, not half. Additionally, this tile was thicker than most porcelain tiles, so something to consider when you purchase tile. Cleaning was never an issue, only room size and perspective.
