Hosta ‘Sum & Substance’
Description:
The enormous, golden leaves - largest of any Hosta - form a huge mound up to six feet across of glowing gold that lights up the shade. Pale lavender flowers appear in August. All eyes turn to it! Just give it enough space to show off. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
