How About That!

Hosta "How About That!" review

There are several streaked 'Sum and Substance' sports on the market, but this one is a little different. Mark Zilis discovered 'How about That' as a tissue culture sport of 'Sum It Up'. Large, rounded leaves have the distinct 'Sum and Substance' look...smooth, glossy, with a sharp tip. Instead of the typical chartreuse base color, though, the leaves are deep green with white streaks and splashes.
