What plant/flower does this look like to you?

I once divided a lot of hostas in April, put them in a wheelbarrow on our patio and didn't do anything with them for a month. I eventually planted them and they grew like crazy, even after all that neglect.

Move them now.

I will walk around to find the best shady new home for my hosta. Right now all the leaves are coming in and I want to see if there will be better shade coverage.

This! I have hostas in sun, shade, and mixed. Different hostas have different likes - some do quite well in partial sun. If this one was already there, why move it? See how it does.

Even if you end up with enough shade, the plant is still way too close to the house and will grow up against it. Also, soil right at the foundation is always the worst soil on your property. It needs to be moved, and it would only take about ten minutes, tops.
