Hostas thrive here in North Alabama. They will really grow in shady areas -
one of the few things that like the shade. Ours get very tall, not just a
ground cover, and bloom (the flowers aren't particularly pretty, though).
The foliage is spectacular, especially in the variegated variety. I believe
they are in the lily family and started from a small bulb. But they
multiply profusely. We keep dividing them and now have them all over our
yard. They are tolerant of some sun, but not a lot. No reason you could
not grow them in Florida as long as it is in the shade.
