Does anyone grow Hosta plants? Can someone recommend a Hosta variety that will thrive in the morning sun? I was told the white or light yellow varieties can tolerate more sun than the dark green and blue varieties.

Hostas
Hostas are a shade-loving foliage plant that comes in many shapes and sizes and produces lovely white to lavender flowers in the summer! Learn how to plant, grow, and care for hostas with this growing guide from The Old Farmer's Almanac.

We have some out front. They get a few hours of morning Sun and hold up good. These are probably about 15 years old and come up every year. Just snapped this pic...

We have them everywhere including our woods, they prefer shade but can tolerate a few hours of sun a day.

We have all kinds in the front of our house. Take hours of afternoon pounding sun no problem. In my experience, the hosta is second only to the dandelion in toughness.
I rarely see flowers on the ones in my yard due to the herd of four-legged free-loaders living in my area.
Hostas seem to be the equivalent of a salad bar for deer.
They are easy to grow but keep an eye out for slugs. They like to munch on them too.

That is a funny one. Salad bar for deer.
Yeah, the deer love to eat them. Ours are white, planted in shade.
