What happens if you plant hostas in full sun?
Although they’re known for their shade-tolerance, most hosta varieties perform well when exposed to a bit of morning sun and afternoon shade. Too much sun exposure will result in burned leaves, starting from the edges inward. The leaves will look brown, dry, and papery. Too much sun exposure also causes colors to fade. If you’re not familiar with hostas, they’re easy-care perennials. Hostas thrive under trees, on the north side of your home or garage, or other places that don’t get much direct sun. Because they’re perennial, they come back every year — you only need to plant them once.
