It depends on the strength of the chlorine. People drink tap water with clorine in it and we use this water to water our lawns and plants. If you have too much chlorine in the fountain water then yes, it will harm the hosta foliage. I have a huge hosta outside my back door and it's 10 feet wide by 4 feet high and I have no idea why it's so big. It's beautiful though. I NEVER use cold water on most of my plants, but tepid water right out of the tap. Of course I can't do the rockery garden this way and will have to use the sprinkler on the vast majority of my plants. I only use the other method on planted pots, the flowers by the walkway and our rose garden.
