Can you tell me a hosta that will grow in full sun, on a slope, in a windy area. Zone 5.

Re: wind and sun
Best selections for full sun would be H. plantagenia or hybrids thereof. The wind factor is a concern though, wind tends to dry out the soil and this species requires moisture and extended, warm summers to flower and set seed well. Unless you are prepared to water regularly you might be best advised to look for something a little more drought tolerant than a Hosta for this location...JMHO.
