Hosta ‘Sum & Substance’ 5Gal

Latin Name: Hosta 'Sum and Substance'

Common Name: Sum and Substance Hosta

Zones: 3–9

Height & Spread: 28–30 inches tall, spreading 48–60 inches wide

Descriptive Features: A massive, award-winning hosta renowned for its enormous, glossy, chartreuse-to-gold leaves — among the largest of any hosta cultivar, with individual leaves reaching up to 18 inches long. The thick, slightly puckered foliage holds its vibrant gold color well, even tolerating more sun than most hostas, especially with adequate moisture. In summer, pale lavender flowers appear on tall scapes rising above the foliage. Notably more slug-resistant than many hosta varieties due to its thick leaf substance. A dramatic specimen or focal point for shade gardens, borders, and woodland plantings; performs best in part shade to filtered sun
