I love how showy these hostas are. They arrived healthy and are 6”+ after 2 weeks.

Off to a Healthy Start

Received these in the fall and got them planted in a loose and fertile substrate in an otherwise difficult spot under a maple tree, where they will be joining a half dozen other established Sum & Substance hostas. Some bare roots looked more substantial than others. Watered regularly to give the roots a good start. Each one started sprouting leaves within a few weeks. I look forward to seeing how they do in the growing season.

Hosta

Got a root. Arrived in good condition. Was very small when it came, but took no time for this hosta to start growing. It is doing great.

Update on my beautiful hostas!

All three are planted out in the hosta bed now and getting established. I can't wait to see how much they grow next year.

Beautiful Hosta

They are coming up nicely. I hope the deer don’t find them.

Nice well rooted soots

Haven't had them in the ground long enough to see if they will grow. The roots seemed quite healthy and there was a little growth on top of some. They are planted and have been well watered by the Speing rain.

Light and cheerful

This is light in color, and even pale with more sun exposure. Sturdy and predictable in size and spread. An excellent addition to a shade garden!

So far only two are growing ☹️. They don’t look like the other Sum and Substance I have!
