When I rented apartments, my landlords always allowed me to garden. I became an expert in high sun plants. When I purchased my home, I found a beautiful property with almost no place to put all of my sun-loving favorites. With some help from a few magazine pictures, I am now fully impassioned to create the landscape of my dreams using as many hosta varieties as possible. Sum and Substance, the 2004 American Hosta Growers Society hosta of the year, maintains it's beautiful chartreuse color (in my garden) for the entire season. It's large and grows fairly quickly. It is giving us ground cover, privacy, and is helping to curb erosion on the hill where it lives. I have had no problems with slugs or deer (so far). If you are a hosta or shade novice, you can try this one for a reasonable price, and find it almost anywhere from spring to fall. It can be planted at any time, but fall is best (when you get the best prices, too). If you can't find one in a store, try eBay. I've gotten many of my favorites there. This one I purchased in a store.
