    Sum and Substance Hosta (Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’) is a legendary giant hosta variety, prized for its bold size and chartreuse-gold foliage. Its massive, leathery leaves can grow up to 20 inches long, forming a dramatic mound that provides excellent texture and color contrast in shaded gardens. As the season progresses, the leaves shift from bright chartreuse in spring to deeper golden-green tones in summer, especially in areas with bright light. In midsummer, tall flower scapes rise above the foliage, carrying pale lavender blooms that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Long-lived and dependable, this hosta is an outstanding specimen for large borders, woodland gardens, or as a statement plant.

      • Select a location with rich, well-draining soil in partial shade.

      • Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough so the crown (where roots meet shoots) is about 1 inch below soil level.

      • Place the roots in the hole, spread them out, and backfill with soil.

      • Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil consistently moist until established.

      • Mulch around the plant to retain moisture, but avoid covering the crown to prevent rot.

    Sum and Substance Hosta is a garden giant, adding unmatched scale, color, and texture to shady landscapes while remaining low-maintenance and long-lasting.
