I would have given you the link but it seems to be a broken link. I am lucky I copied the whole list. I am not sure who made it but the person who had originally made it had made other list but those are all gone too. So here it is the sun tolerant list(not sure when it was updated last I copied it last fall) 'Abba Dabba Do' # 'Abiqua Recluse' # 'Allan P.

Uuuuh I'm in Norway. Bought 35 hosta on mail order from Marco Fransen last year. Amazing root systems on them but was a little unprepared for how leafed out and floppy they would be contra how far our season had come along. Heat Wave was the one hosta that did most badly aclimatising. I just wrote it off as hosta that I wasn't going to get along with until today when I went out and counted that it has come up with 10 eyes!!!! Did a little hosta dance in excitement!! and thought maybe I should move it. It is going to be real fun seeing all Marcos hosta come up this year since they were in such a floppy state last year. I envy you all being able to go just down the road to buy exciting hosta. My little investment last year entailed DHL and a costly health certficate to get them thru customs. (but we were 4 hosta enthusiasts that pooled our order)

1818 Federal, size is caused by a combination of factors: how happy the plant is in its setting, how old the plant is, and genetics. I don't think that full sun in VA would be a good idea. It sounds like its current eastern exposure is probably good. I know that all along the east coast weather has played a part for the last few years in setting back big-leaf/macrophylla hydrangeas, with late frosts damaging opening buds or particularly severe winter temperatures killing back branches to the ground. I don't know if you noticed any type of cold damage, but this is one possibility. Did you get bloom? If so, was it in spring or later in the season? If yours is a relatively young plant, you won't find it putting on a lot of above ground growth in the first year or two as it is growing roots to support future above ground growth. Do you know the variety you have? Was it grown from a cutting of your grandmother's hydrangea? Current fashion in plants has the breeders trying to create smaller plants as many homes have relatively small yards that folks want to use for a multitude of purposes, and so often they are looking for smaller plants. So there are several H. macrophylla that are bred to be in the 2'-3' range, where your grandmother's may well have been something like Nikko Blue that can get to 6' tall and wide. If during the growing season your hydrangea is blooming and the shrub's leaves look happy (not a yellowish color or droopy) I wouldn't move it.

all fragrant hosta.. like SG and Gauc will take as much sun as you can give them.. and actually need it for best flower production in z5 .... blueness is a wax.. which when super heated in summer followed by a rainstorm.. will wash off.. they will grow faster when green.. but not be as blue ... later int eh summer ... frankly in z5 ann arbor MI .. nearly everything can take full sun.. if you can drown them.. and by the time they get ratty in august.. i dont care ... the best shade.. would be shade only from about 1pm to 4 pm.. just the highest heat of the day .... the further south you go.. the more concern you should have ... just give it a go ...NEVER OVERTHINK hosta... you can always move them next spring if you think they can do better in a better spot... but some of those you picked are big ones 5 years down the line ... and you better place them properly in the first three years.. or you will be renting a backhoe.. good luck ken
