The mesmerizing lush foliage of ‘Francee’ Hosta will lighten up any shade garden. Its 6-inch heart-shaped leaves are edged in bright white. An easy grower, it forms dense arching mounds of foliage with beautiful variegation. Pale purple blooms appear atop 28-inch-tall scapes in late summer. This outstanding perennial received the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit. (Hosta x ‘Francee’)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
The lush ‘Francee’ Hosta is an easy-care solution for a shade to part shade location where well-drained soil can be kept moderately moist. It is a great choice for mass planting, or containers where the white-trimmed ‘Francee’ can light up a shady spot. Late summer scapes topped with pale lavender flowers soar above the lush foliage. Cut them back after blooming to encourage plant growth. Native to Northeast Asia, easy-to-grow Hostas have found a welcome place in shade gardens all over the world. Divide in early spring or late summer if desired. Toxic to pets if ingested.
