Hosta ‘Sum and Substance’

Hosta 'Sum and Substance'

I love the huge leaves on this Hosta. The color and waxy texture weirdly reminds me of a tree frog. Unfortunately, these are easily burned by the sun, so I’ve had to move a few of them. Their leaves also get a yellow cast later in summer which is purported to be a feature, but I’m not too fond of it. Overall I like them and look forward to seeing how much bigger they get every year. Definitely a choice for the larger garden.
