{"product_id":"sum-and-substance-hosta-20-cell-plug-tray","title":"Sum and Substance Hosta - 20-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eSum and Substance is one of the largest hostas you can grow, with broad leaves up to 16 inches long on a huge mound about 3 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide. It is a proven, fast-growing classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaf color shifts with light, from light green in shade to chartreuse or gold with a few hours of sun, and it takes more sun than most hostas. The thick, glossy, puckered leaves resist slugs. Pale lavender bells open on 4-foot scapes in mid to late summer. Use it as a specimen or to fill a big space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery large, broadly oval leaves up to 16 inches long in chartreuse to gold, lighter green in deeper shade. Leaves are thick, glossy and lightly corrugated with prominent veins. The plant forms a huge, rounded mound about 36 inches tall and 5 to 6 feet wide. In mid to late summer, scapes about 4 feet tall carry pale lavender bell-shaped flowers. At peak it is an enormous chartreuse-gold dome with tall lavender spikes above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven though it handles some sun, it still wants richer, moister soil than lavender, so plant it in a separate bed with daylilies, astilbe or ferns rather than in a dry lavender border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes best with a quarter to three-quarters of a day of sun, which deepens the gold color, in rich soil that stays evenly moist. Hardy in zones 3-9. Give it plenty of room, water deeply in hot weather, and remove spent scapes after bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hosta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chartreuse to gold (light green in shade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Huge, rounded mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 in tall × 5 ft–6 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susceptible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 20-cell plug tray: 20 large, field-ready plugs of this variety (cells about 2¾ in. wide × 3¼ in. deep or deeper), ready to plant out or pot up.
