Plantain Lily 'Francee'

About this plant

Hosta 'Francee' is a timeless favorite, celebrated for its striking, deep green, heart-shaped leaves neatly edged with a crisp, narrow white margin. This elegant perennial forms a graceful, dense mound, adding sophisticated texture and contrast to any shade garden. In mid to late summer, 'Francee' sends up delicate spikes adorned with attractive lavender-purple, bell-shaped flowers that hover gracefully above the foliage. These subtle blooms attract hummingbirds and add another layer of charm to its already captivating presence. Remarkably adaptable and low-maintenance, 'Francee' is an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, containers, or as an underplanting for larger trees and shrubs, offering enduring beauty year after year.

Care & maintenance

Hostas are generally low-maintenance. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring. Remove spent flower stalks for a tidier appearance. Divide clumps every 3-5 years or when they become overcrowded to maintain vigor.
