Interesting Notes about Plantain Lily:
Hostas are a wonderful plant for the shady garden, although they actually prefer sun for maximum flower production. When Hosta are in too much sun the result is scorched leaves, but this can be avoided if adequate moisture is provided. In general, if the foliage is dark then it should get more shade. If the foliage is variegated then it needs more light to keep the white and gold tones.
