Hosta 'Sum and Substance' Plants   are some of the easiest and most enjoyable plants to have in a garden. I am almost embarrassed to say how mine grew. I have grown tomatoes, jalepenos, bell peppers,habaneros, pumpkins, and even corn. The hostas were given to me by a neighbor in her 80's and I expected them to just disappear when I planted them. While my lilies bloom and die within days, the hostas bloom first and are there months later, still quite vivid green and rain is the only water they get except 4-5 times when a kiidie pool gets dumped out. They literally take care of themselves, and have done so for the past four  years.

  I gave them an outstanding because they keep their color a long time and my neighbor told me they were inexpensive and refused to say how much because they were a gift to me.  One drawback is that my daughter's school beans did not grow and were planted within close proximity to the hostas.

Hostas always look nice. What color flowers do they get white or purple? Nice review.
