InfoNow there's a hosta that's happy in shade or moderate sunshine. Hosta "Sundancer" was found in trials to have higher levels of heat and sun tolerance than many other hostas. Hosta Sundancer is a vigorous, low-growing perennial with appealing medium green foliage highlighted by soft chartreuse variegation that brightens to white when exposed to heat. Though the edges of variegated hostas are often burned by the sun, the foliage of Sundancer tolerates moderate sun admirably. In the hottest climate zones, however, it will need partial to full shade.
Hosta Sundancer bears an abundance of pale lavender flowers with a light, spicy fragrance on 18-inch stems in mid-season. It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 10. The plant matures to 12 to14 inches in height and 22 inches in diameter.
