What are your best performing sun tolerant hostas?

I’m looking to add a few more sun tolerant hostas to my sun bed. I already have Old Glory and Earth Angel purchased. I do use the sun tolerant list as a guide, but I have found that hostas listed there do not always do well for me. I get sun from about 7:30 to 1:30-2:00.

What does well for you?

I was just visiting gardens in WI with my club, did a bus tour. Went near Green Bay and Appleton. Whole large beds in full sun, basking in it.

I did not take many panoramic pictures, mostly certain individual specimens.
