Back Of House Is Facing South East, Can I Plant Hostas Directly The Behind The Back Wall Of The House House

The back wall of the house has gravel along it about 4 ft. wide because there is no gutter. I need to leave it clear reltively clear, but would like to put in a bit of green to soften the look. Hostas would be simple and attractive. I will plant them first and then add the large gravel with plenty of space to carch the rain. There isn’ really any shade to speak of.
