Francee Hosta

Francee Hosta (Hosta 'Francee') is a popular, low-maintenance perennial featuring dark green, heart-shaped leaves with distinct, narrow white margins. Reaching roughly 2-3 feet wide and 1-2 feet tall, this hardy plant thrives in part to full shade, producing lavender flowers on 30-inch scapes in mid-to-late summer. 

Key Care and Planting Details:

• Light: Thrives in partial to full shade, though it has better sun tolerance than many other hostas.
• Water: Prefers consistently moist, well-drained, and organic-rich soil.
• Spacing: Plant 
•  feet apart to allow for its 
•  foot mature spread.
• Planting: Set in early spring or late summer, ensuring the crown is just below the soil surface.
• Maintenance: Low-maintenance; remove flower spikes after blooming and watch for slugs.
• Uses: Excellent for container planting, mass plantings, ground cover, or shade border edging.

This variety is known for its ability to brighten shady areas and its resistance to "melting out" in the sun, making it a reliable, hardy choice for gardeners.
