What should I do about this hosta? I know it gets too much sun so it’s burned. Do I cut the leaves? Leave it?

I would recommend shade cloth! We get really intense sun where i live and it helps the plants so much. It's pretty readily available too

Unfortunately this garden is out in the middle of the yard, there really isn’t anything to attached a shade cloth to 😞 I appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Maybe you could get stakes? I hope you find a solution that works :)
