Give your neighbors something to admire with the addition of Sum and Substance Hosta to your shade garden display. You'll be in awe of how large the rippled, broad-leaf foliage gets at maturity. Like most hosta varieties, this big guy grows only to a moderate height… but it spreads to a whopping 5-6' across! In mid to late summer, willowy 4' scapes bear bell-shaped flowers in varying shades of purple. Sum and Substance really brightens up those shadowed spaces in the garden, as well as sun-dappled borders, rock gardens and wooded sites. Brings butterflies and pollinators to the landscape by the hundreds. Exhibits good slug resistance, too. Hosta 'Sum and Substance'
