Hosta 'Francee' is one of the best of the white-margined plantain lilies. The leaves form a statuesque mound approximately 60 cm tall and 90 cm across. The beautiful lavender flowers on leaning stalks approximately 1 metre high bloom around mid summer.
This plant will grow in any reasonable garden soil. It is happiest in fertile well drained soil, so adding organic matter will improve its growth. It is best sheltered from strong winds and will grow in full sun or partial shade.
