Medium-Large. H.plantaginea x H.sieboldii. A.Cummings & AHS 1986. We've found this variety to be very tough in the garden, and relatively resistant to slugs despite its soft appearance. The leaves are a simple elegant apple green, long and tapered in shape. As you would expect from a plantaginea cross, the flowers are large and fragrant (with perhaps just a whiff of aniseed?), lilac in bud, opening white. It is very tolerant of sun which is said to bring out the fragrance but deteriorates the foliage colour.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Very Large. H.montana f. macrophylla seedling. D.Heims. One of those varieties that is slow to establish, but well worth the wait. The leaves are twice as long as wide, tapering to a narrow tip with very prominent parallel veins and a rippled edge. A lovely elegant graceful green leaf variety for a moist position in light shade.

Large. Possibly a H.nigrescens hybrid. Ullrich Fischer. Quite similar in many ways to H.'Krossa Regal', differing in that the leaves are maybe a little narrower on longer petioles and slightly darker in colour. In spring they are very thin and snake-like in the way that they unfurl from narrow pointy buds. A fine cultivar if a little slow.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Large. H.yingeri x H.'Blue Umbrellas'. T.Avent 1995. A big bold Hosta with well rounded, well puckered leaves. Quickly makes a large, if not shapely mound of tough leathery textured leaves that are noted for their deep blue green colouring. Vigorous grower. Surprisingly small and delicate pink flowers for such a butch Hosta.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks

Potsize - 1L
Hosta 'Sum and Substance'. Giant. 90 x 150cm. Very large, puckered, golden chartreuse yellow leaves, getting bigger and better as the plant ages. Flowers are pure white in tight heads. Plant in sun to achieve the best leaf colouration. In ideal conditions this can be one of the largest of hostas. Its origin is unknown but Hosta 'Elatior' and Hosta hypoleuca are probably in the gene pool. 'Sum and substance is possibly a triploid variety.
