wilmarosebud's blog: Sun Hosta - experimenting

Posted on Aug 6, 2018 5:35 PM

After reading about the Sun Hosta on this wonderful wedsite, I decided I needed (yes NEEDED) to add this plant to my gardens. Because of the mixed reviews I have read on getting the best results with this plant, I wasn't sure what area I wanted to put it into. So when I bought my plant, I was sure to select one that could easily be divided into 2.

The first area I selected is in with the Caladiums. This is on the east side and gets fairly late good morning, early afternoon sun. It doesn't get early morning sun because of a neighbor's oak tree.

The second area is with the Bromeliads. This is on the north side and gets good early morning sun. This area is also more protected from frost because it is under an oak tree canopy. However I don't expect frost or freeze to really be a problem as we don't too either one too often or too heavy. I think the hosta is strong enough to withstand these.

Time will tell as to which area seems to do better for them. The great thing about plants, you can always move them somewhere else if you have to.
