Q: I have recently moved house and have acquired a small courtyard that doesn't get much sunshine. I have heard that hostas are well-suited to shade, so would like to grow some in pots to add color and vibrancy to the space. Is there anything I need to know to ensure that they thrive?
A: You are correct in that hostas are excellent plants for shade. In fact, too much sunshine can cause the foliage of many varieties to scorch, particularly those with a bluer hue.
