Sum & Substance is a huge hosta with large smooth golden foliage that stands out! Brightens up the shade and is always a focal point.

Hostas are a garden staple! They add a tropical and fresh look to the shade, and draw the eye with their stand-out leaves. Hostas are versatile, rarely need to be watered, and 'behave' in their tidy clumps.

One of the images shows the variable size of our hosta leaves. Sum & Substance is the second from the left.

One interesting thing about Hosta plants, is that they will keep growing as long as they have light. This means, that if you want to speed-up hosta growth during the growing season, artificial lighting (increasing the day length) can help you get your hosta plants bigger, faster! Be sure to allow you plants to acclimatize back to regular lighting later in the season (and plant them in the ground), so they will go dormant in the winter.
