A Hosta as sweet as So Sweet is hard to imagine&33; The foliage of this plantain lily is heart&45;shaped & each leaf has a wonderful golden yellow margin that gradually turns to white as the season progresses from spring into summer. This hardy perennial looks great when planted in groups in borders & it also goes well in a rock garden & even in containers. Voted Hosta of the Year in America back in 1996, Hosta So Sweet is a medium&45;sized variety that produces fragrant white flowers in summer. It appreciates a moist, humus&45;rich soil & some feed between March & June. This is a Hosta that can tolerate full sun & also grows well in partial shade.

Height: 35cm; &40;12&34;&41; Spread: 55cm &40;110&34;&41;. Culinary information: The best part to use is the hoston, the rolled up leaf as it emerges in the spring. Cooking depends on the size of the hostons, small ones can be fried for a few minutes, going well in stir fries. Thicker ones are better boiled & used as a vegetable.

Hosta ' Sum & Substance' is a great plantain lily that has been awarded the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM). This bold & beautiful Hosta has huge, deeply corrugated deep green leaves which make a good backdrop for tall stems bearing pale lilac flowers which appear in July.

Give it shade & moist conditions & it will reward you with lush foliage which looks as good in large pots as it does in the border. ' Sum & Substance' will tolerate some sun, but give the foliage shade during the hottest part of the day & shelter it from cold winds. ...
