Hosta Sum and Substance is an architectural shade perennial with exceptionally large, broadly heart-shaped leaves. The thick, glossy foliage shifts from light green through chartreuse to gold as light exposure changes, building a substantial mounded specimen.
Pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers rise in racemes above the foliage in midsummer to late summer. Its imposing scale suits a shaded border, courtyard, generous container, or ground-cover planting where it has room to mature.
Grow it in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade and shelter it from cold, dry winds. Divide established clumps in early spring or late summer, clear dead foliage at season's end, and watch for slugs, snails, vine weevil, and hosta viruses.
