Yep....keep them well watered....they may get a little cripsy around the edges the first year, but after the 'know you mean it" they will put their roots down and grow like crazy.

Lots of water. They'll look a little ratty the first year, but they should adapt after that.

We call our grand-daughter Sydney Lou Hoo and I've named a small sport of June H.'Sydney Lou Hoo'.

Yes, they should do fine, sun is not the problem heat is. Keep them well watered when it gets hot.

I offer hosta are not shade tolerant they are "Heat Intolerant".

Search my name for the bog which is in full sun and full time water and they grow like weeds in these conditions.

I am also in Mid-TN and I have never had any luck with putting them in full sun. Nor have I seen any planted around here that thrived in those conditions. The heat here is just too intense and the rainfall is too far between. We water long and hard 2-3 times a week but the city water cannot replace the rain water -- and still they turn brown and dry up by the end of July, so good luck.
