Hosta 'Sum and Substance' | 2004 "Hosta of the Year" | Slug-resistant foliage

Description

Award-winning hosta variety

Hosta 'Sum and Substance' holds the prestigious title of 2004 "Hosta of the Year" from the American Hosta Growers Association. Known for its robust and attractive foliage, this hosta is a standout choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of elegance to their landscapes. Its award-winning status attests to its exceptional qualities.

Massive, low-maintenance foliage

This hosta features massive, slug-resistant leaves that make it both impressive and easy to maintain. The golden mound it forms can be used as a specimen, ground cover, or background plant. With appropriate care, such as adequate fertilizing and watering, it can achieve considerable size and presence in your garden.

Colourful and floral attributes

The leaves of 'Sum and Substance' measure up to 18" x 14" and maintain their vibrant chartreuse hue even in deep shade. In late August, lavender flowers bloom on scapes reaching heights of up to 50", adding an additional visual appeal to this already remarkable plant.
