Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’ #1

Perhaps the largest and most popular of the hostas, this robust award winner has immense leathery leaves of chartreuse that become gold as summer approaches. A bold landscape feature when accentuated by smaller bright-colored hostas and other perennials. Thick foliage resists slug damage. Hosta of the Year, 2004. An herbaceous perennial.
