Hosta. Might need to transplant it to a shadier location.

Hosta usually prefer morning or filtered sun rather than full day or hot afternoon sun.

These are some of the longest living perennials you can come across. Plant them in some good shade with dappled sun and they'll thrive beautifully

Unfortunately there's not much shade in my front or backyard. These were already in place when I moved in. There's 4 of these placed around the yard and they're all doing pretty poorly.

During the summer I was watering directly onto the leaves to get the water to soil. I'd do this at night but I guess, after researching Hostas, I should be watering the soil under the plant directly.
