Hosta 'Sum and Substance' is a truly remarkable variety, known for its impressive size and striking foliage. With its large, round, and heavily corrugated leaves, this hosta makes a bold statement in the garden. The leaves are a rich, golden chartreuse, which brightens over time to a more buttery yellow, creating an eye-catching contrast against darker green plants. This hosta can grow up to 90 cm in height with a spread that can exceed 1.2 meters, making it one of the largest and most impactful varieties available.
In midsummer, tall spikes of pale lavender flowers emerge above the foliage, attracting pollinators and adding a subtle touch of color to the plant’s already magnificent presence. Hosta 'Sum and Substance' thrives in partially shaded to shaded areas, preferring moist, well-drained soil. Its bold foliage works well as a focal point or as a statement plant in large garden beds or woodland settings. Known for being very hardy, it is also resistant to pests such as slugs and deer, making it a low-maintenance and reliable choice for gardeners seeking a dramatic addition to their landscape.
