Re: Hostas tolerating sun

 Dear Paul Henjum: I enjoyed seeing your list of hostas that do well in 
 sun, and would like to reprint your list (giving you full credit, with an 
 accurate citation to Perennials, of course) on the mailing list Alpine-L.
 I hope you will say yes.
 
 And, in any case, can you comment on H. 'Gold Standard' and 'Richland 
 Gold'?  I grow these in the sun, but in the past two weeks their leaves 
 have turned almost pure white (without, however, deteriorating otherwise).
 
 Because Alpine-L emphasizes plants under 12" tall, would you care to mark 
 the dwarf and miniature cultivars in your list with, say, an asterisk 
 (*)?  Thanks.

Yes you may use the list-if you can wait I can put together a  more
exstensive one with size and leaf color if you want.

Gold standard and richland gold- grow well in sun and it is normal for them
to turn parchment white- its great is it not. The color is very showing and
diffrent.
If those work well try moonlight- it is a gold standard with a white margin
instead of a green one-lovly Hosta.
also try a Hosta called "janet'-- a smaller hosta that turns "
white" too
