really want to save 2 hydrangrea that have lost size considerably. theyve been getting over 4-5 hours zone 7 afternoon sun.

Are these shady spots on each end of the hosta suitable because the hosta have thrived there? we will clear out bricks, rocks to make room. The sun is minimal enough for the hostas to thrive there: they were 3 small plants less than 2 years ago). Another option is slightly under the camelia; it gets 2-3 hours afternoon sun though.

thank you soooo much!
