Diann,
Both Decatur,Ga and Tyrone are in Zone 7. Decatur is just east of Atlanta
and Tyrone just south. Macon,Ga. is pretty much the southern most point here
for hostas. Yes, it is very humid here most of the summer and we're having
record drought along with temps in the 90's.
If anyone needs direction on hostas that do best in the south let me know.
