I would like to plan hosta’s along this fence. The area gets morning and afternoon sun. Is there a hosta that will do well there? Or a similar low maintenance border plant that will fill in the space along the fence? Thanks in advance.

Hostas are an excellent choice. There are many, many to choose from. Some get very large so pay particular attention while making your selection. I think a variety of different (3-4) hostas are more interesting than an entire row of all the same. I am including a UMN link to more information on hostas: https://extension.umn.edu/flowers/growing-hostas-minnesota
