hey!!

welcome ..

short answer ... JUST DO IT ... if they dont thrive ... move them later ...

longer answer .... as much sun as possible.. avoiding the hot sun of afternoon .... which you seem to do ... and try to drown them.... and they should be happy ...

blue is a wax coating that reflects the blue sky .. if they get too hot in the sun.. followed by rain or watering.. the wax will tend to melt off.. and you will end up with green hosta... but not harm the plant ...

go with first answer.. just do it...

you have to try real hard to hurt, harm or kill a hosta... have no fear...

ps:: you know.. they will live on the driveway with a little water... so placement isnt really that important.. when your really get down to it...

Well my goodness! It is an escapee from the daylily forum! I wondered if you would ever escape to the shady side LOL!

Glad to have you in the mix here Mr Shoe. And take kens advice - his sage words reflect his wisdom of the ages (wink)

oh.. a daylily guy ...

abuse it as you would a common daylily ...

pull it from the earth.. curse at it... replant it... but give it more water ... and you should be all set..

over think it.. and coddle it.. it will die ...

ps: do daylily grow on the driveway????

Daylillies will grow on the driveway if you threaten them with a move to a shady spot on the far side of the yard!

Caliloo,

I am more likely to be found posting on the Rose Forum. I have many weaknesses including clematis, perennials and viburnums.

The hostas I plan to transplant are called Halcyon according to the tag. The picture below is a few years old, before the surrounding shrubs closed in on them. There is also a green/chartrueuse hosta behind Halcyon which also needs to be moved.

Thanks everyone for your help.
