Noteworthy Characteristics:‘Francee’ is generally considered to be one of the best of the white-margined hostas. It is a sportof H. 'Fortunei Albomarginata'. It typically matures in a dense, arching mound to 21" tall and to36" wide. Heart-shaped, dark green leaves (to 8" long) have narrow white margins. Foliage holdsgood color throughout the growing season. Funnel-shaped, pale lavender flowers in denseracemes appear in late summer atop leafy green scapes rising above the foliage mound to 30”tall. M. Klopping & AHS 1986.Problems:Slugs and snails are attracted to the foliage, chewing jagged holes in the leaves, and if leftunchecked, can cause serious damage over a fairly short period of time. Leaf spots and crown rotare less frequent problems. Otherwise, hostas are virtually pest-free and are considered ideallow-maintenance garden perennials. Leaves, particularly of exposed plants, can be severelydamaged by hail storms.Uses:Hostas are a mainstay of shade gardens. This white-margined Hosta makes an interesting gardenspecimen. It is also very effective in groups or massed as a ground cover. It can be mixed withother perennials in shady borders, shade gardens or woodland gardens.Back to plant list- 8 -
