Description
Francee Hosta is a stunning perennial that brings a sophisticated splash of variegated elegance to your landscape. Known for its large, heart-shaped leaves with rich dark green centers and crisp white margins, this hosta forms a dense, arching mound that adds refined texture to shaded areas. In mid to late summer, tall scapes emerge bearing delicate, funnel-shaped, pale lavender flowers that provide a striking accent above the foliage. Ideal for borders, ground cover, or as a standout specimen in containers, Francee Hosta thrives in full to partial shade, transforming even the gloomiest corners into inviting retreats.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Performs best in full shade to partial shade (0–4 hours of direct light)
  • Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, moist soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist—adjust watering for Michigan’s cooler conditions
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch in fall to conserve moisture and protect roots
  • Pruning: Remove old, faded foliage in late fall to prevent crown rot and encourage fresh growth
  • Container Growing: Also thrives in containers; choose a pot that offers ample space and excellent drainage

Add Francee Hosta to your landscape for a touch of understated elegance that effortlessly enlivens shaded spaces with its captivating foliage and seasonal blooms.
