• What can we say about this legendary hosta! If you don't own a 'Sum and Substance' hosta then hit the add to cart button now!
• Forms a giant mound of wavy chartreuse foliage that is corrugated and cups up and down.
• At up to nine feet across at maturity, 'Sum and Substance' Hosta is the most popular gold-leafed giant hosta.  
• We have seen this hosta be absolutely enormous but also 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide where it was fighting for moisture with tree roots.
• Don't rob this hosta of its potential, plant in good fertile soil with good moisture retention. 
• There is a picture on the hosta library with Van Wade standing behind his enormous clump. It is easily 45"T!
• Give this hosta deep fertile soil and adequate moisture then step back and enjoy!
• Can handle a lot of sun here in NH.
• This ideal specimen plant displays lavender flowers in mid-summer.

Why Should I Grow It? You want a very large hosta that visitors will gawk at.
