Mary, since I'm in zone 5, I'm close enough to offer my two cents. :-) For three years I grew a beautiful Wolverine. It had sun exposure from sun-up till around 1:00 p.m. It was a vigorous grower. If you reverse the conditions you should have a happy Wolverine - avoid sun for the hottest part of the day.

Mine did not return this spring after our brutal winter but I've happily replaced it. :-)

Mine gets south western sun but no midday sun. Also gets lots of water. I have mine planted near Guacamole as well.
Perhaps more water might help to compensate for the intense midday heat... what do you think? My Lakeside Dragonfly lies down during midday heat but perks right up with watering.

My Wolverine still (I will move) has noon sun. She does not like it. She has whitish and a lot of melted edges.

My Wolverine hasn't grown all that much but it is healthy. It gets dappled shade but the problem that I have is that it is too close to a Maple tree. I will have to dig it out and replant with a spin out bag and see if that makes a difference next year.

The first year it had 5 eyes and the following year it had 28 eyes! The following two years were 22 and 21 respectively, so definitely root competition.

I have a couple of Wolverines,and mine is in dappled shade all the time. They grow well,but its biggest enemy here is weather. It is always one of the first to come up every year,and every year gets frozen,and this year,in particular,we had that April 15th freeze that nearly wiped them out! I will leave them where they are,but have to keep an eye out for freezes. Phil

Thanks everyone, I am going to move both of my Wolverines to the east side of my house, dappled shade area. Thank you for all the pictures, I absolutely love the look of this hosta, so it will be worth it to try and make it happy!
