Hosta 'Sum And Substance' (Large Plant) - 1 Hosta Plant In 2 Litre Pot

Product Description

Hosta Sum & Substance is a great plantain lily that has been awarded the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit &40;AGM&41;. 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. This is the Hosta for a shady courtyard or border, where it makes a bold statement. It looks good with ferns & provides really effective ground cover in areas where many other plants prefer not to grow. 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.

Height: 75cm &40;26&34;&41;. Spread: 1.2m &40;3 11&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.
