Hosta X ''Sum and Substance''
Sum and Substance Hosta
You can't beat Hostas as a carefree, enduring ground cover for shade, but certain varieties stand out on their own as specimen plants. One of the best is 'Sum and Substance', which forms huge mounds up to six feet across with deeply veined, chartreuse leaves measuring nine inches or more wide by twenty inches long. The foliage gleams in dappled or morning light and is rarely bothered by slugs or snails. In late summer, lavender flowers appear on tall scapes. Designated as Hosta of the Year for 2004 by the American Hosta Grower's Association.
