Hosta 'Sum and Substance'
Hosta 'Sum and Substance' is one of the largest and most impressive hostas available, forming a huge, mound-forming clump of broad, ovate leaves that bring bold structure and presence to the garden.
The foliage colour shifts depending on light levels, ranging from fresh green to chartreuse and rich gold, with a glossy, heavily corrugated surface that offers good resistance to slugs. Unlike many hostas, it shows excellent tolerance to sun when given adequate moisture. In mid to late summer, tall flower spikes carry pale lavender, bell-shaped blooms above the foliage.
