The scent is wonderful in mid-late summer. I have also gotten fond of "Sum and Substance." It's *huge* and a beautiful chartreuse color. Slugs, etc. are supposed to find it distasteful for some reason. Catharine (who realizes she will probably get 'flamed' for saying she doesn't think much of hostas.)
