Hosta Sum & Substance – Giant Hosta with golden-green leaves

Hosta Sum & Substance is one of the largest and most impressive Hostas available. This iconic cultivar is known for its enormous size and its spectacular chartreuse to golden-green leaves. The gigantic, heart-shaped leaves create a lush and tropical appearance, making this Hosta an absolute eye-catcher in any garden. Thanks to its imposing growth, Hosta Sum & Substance is ideal as a solitary plant or as a striking centerpiece in a shade border.

Reaching a height of approximately 100 cm, this Hosta develops into an impressive plant that adds significant volume and structure to the garden. The large leaves form a dense canopy that helps suppress weeds and creates a soothing, green atmosphere. Hosta Sum & Substance pairs beautifully with ferns, Rodgersia, Astilbes, and other large shade plants, but also comes into its own perfectly as a striking solitary focal point.

A major advantage of this cultivar is that its sturdy leaves are more resistant to slugs than many other Hosta varieties. Although no Hosta is completely slug-free, Hosta Sum & Substance is significantly less attractive to slugs due to its thick leaf structure. Additionally, this Hosta tolerates more sunlight than most other Hostas. In a location with sufficient soil moisture, it can also grow excellently in the morning or evening sun, where the golden-green leaf color is shown to its best advantage.

Hosta Sum & Substance grows best in nutritious, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. The plant is fully winter-hardy, low-maintenance, and sprouts vigorously again every spring. With minimal care, it grows into an impressive specimen that provides a spectacular appearance for years to come.
