Hosta 'Sum and Substance'
A strong grower in half sun!
Heavy light green leaves make a striking display and are enhanced with lavender flowers in late summer!
We hear more and more raves about the performance of this huge-leaved cultivar. Heavy, 2-foot light green leaves make a striking display, enhanced by lavender flowers in late summer. A strong grower in half sun. 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Quite slug- and snail-resistant.
The artistic beauty and richness of Hosta foliage, unequaled in any other shade-loving plant, is being recognized more widely every year. The bold, colorful, and often fragrant flowers are excellent for cutting, as are the leaves. Hostas are a must for any shady planting, and many perform well in sun, too. They are magnificent in combination with ferns, creating a marvelous contrast in texture and color. We offer a selection of the finest species and cultivars, many the result of great new breeding work in the U.S. Zones 3-9. 4-inch pot.

Huge Hosta
One of my favorite hostas! 'Sum and Substance' is the standard by which other giant cultivars of hosta are judged. Its increased tolerance to sunny conditions make it ideal for gardeners with a little less shade in the garden. Spectacular! The longer this one grows, the more stunning it becomes.
