Do you know of any Hostas that would tolerate afternoon sun?

Hostas with yellow leaves or fragrant flowers can stand more sun than Hostas with green, blue or white leaves.

Hosta plantaginea, need exposure to sun to develop their flowers. Hosta plantaginea is one of the most heat tolerant Hosta species.

Keep in mind, the heat experienced in a full sun location can vary from area to area and even during different times of the day. Full sun in the morning hours will not be as intense as full sun at noon.

While yellow and fragrant hostas need some sun exposure, they do not like to bake or fry in the sun. So if your site is extremely hot or dry, you will need to keep any hostas sitting in full sun well watered.

I agree! I have some hostas that get some late afternoon sun. I have noticed that the plants that get the most afternoon sun do not die, but are not quite as large as the plants that don't get but morning sun.

They all should will just not get as big so plant them closer together

I have heard the lighter the leaf on a hosta the more it will take sun. I do not know the type of hosta I have, but it seems to do fine with afternoon sun and water.
