    The Sum and Substance Plantain Lily, or Hosta 'Sum And Substance', is a remarkable perennial that brings both beauty and practicality to your garden. Known for its large, vibrant leaves that range from chartreuse to gold, this Hosta is an eye-catching addition to any shaded area, transforming it with its lush, tropical appearance. Growing up to 3 feet tall and spreading 5 to 6 feet wide, this plant is perfect for creating a bold statement in your garden. Its thick, heart-shaped leaves not only offer a stunning visual appeal but also provide a natural defense against slugs, ensuring your plant remains healthy and vibrant. In mid-summer, enjoy the added beauty of pale lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators and adding a touch of elegance. Caring for the Sum and Substance Hosta is straightforward; it thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Its robust nature makes it an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance plant that can thrive in less sunny spots. This Hosta is not only a beautiful addition to your garden but also a functional one, as it forms a dense ground cover that helps suppress weeds. Whether you're looking to enhance your garden's aesthetic or need a reliable plant for shaded areas, the Sum and Substance Hosta offers a perfect solution.

    FAQs

    How do i know the size of the plant?

    As is typical in Nursery and Garden Center sales, the plants are listed by the size of the container in which they are grown. While we are in the process of standardizing how our plants are listed here online, many of them still have the notations from the grower's availability list. Here are some common ones that you will see on our website:

    • 17cm = about 6.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
    • 19cm = about 7.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
    • G1 = 1 gallon container
    • G2 = 2 gallon container
    • G3 = 3 gallon container

    The size of the actual plant will vary greatly based on the plant, season, and growing stage. In some cases we can provide some more details from the grower as requested.
