I was a Minnesota Master Gardener over 25 years and logged over 90 varieties of Hostas planted in my yard, but after moving to AZ to sort of retire I found a different variety of plants to learn of and enjoy, Hostas do not do well in AZ climate.
My yard is of stones - no grass. I love the new to me AZ plants. Also, to consider for me is my age (86) and health prohibit that prohibit my personal planting in AZ climate.
What I can do is study what will grow well in the areas I have using the sun, shade, and other weather factors to maintain my yard which is all a garden.

I moved to Arizona from Michigan and miss my hostas too! I am not a Master Gardener, but I like learning more about the plants I plant here. Last year I bought a bunch of drought tolerant plants and most of them not only survived, but thrived. One little plant disappeared soon after I planted it. I was very surprised to see it come back this spring. Here is the picture of my back-from-the-dead plant.
