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.
