Plant Features

Sum and Substance is a very large Hosta with a strong growth habit. Large chartreuse leaves can grow up to 16" large and form huge mounds in the garden. The leaves have a thick substance and exhibit good slug resistance. Pale lavender blooms appear in mid to late summer. The foliage is a brighter gold if placed in more sunlight. Hostas adapt well to varying conditions but grow best in moist soil. Their foliage provides wonderful color and texture to the garden!

It's growing

Well, this is the first year that I purchased a hosta from GrowJoy. GrowJoy was totally awesome and replaced the first Sum and Substance Hosta with a new one when the first one didn't survive. The replacement one is growing but is still quite small. I expect that from most Hostas. I won't know for sure how it is going to do until next spring when it re-sprouts. So I will follow up then.

Nice Hosta

I order one Sum and Substance Hosta from GrowJoy. The first one died, but I contacted GrowJoy and they promptly sent me a replacement, no questions asked. That's some great customer service. The replacement Hosta is doing great! I don't have a photo yet for it, because a cut worm got to it and began to devour the leaves. I dispatched the worm, and the Hosta has recovered nicely. I attribute that to a healthy plant from GrowJoy. Thanks again.
