Hosta x 'Francie' | Francie Hosta

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hosta x 'Francie' produces lavender, bell-shaped flowers in midsummer, held on slender scapes that rise above the foliage and attract pollinators. Heart-shaped leaves are deep green with crisp white margins, creating a bold, clean pattern that remains attractive throughout the growing season. The foliage forms a dense, layered mound with a smooth surface and pronounced veining, while the flowers add a light, airy element above the leaves during bloom.

Originating through hybrid breeding that combines species native to eastern Asia, this cultivar reflects selection for ornamental foliage and garden performance. It is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and foundation plantings, where its distinctive leaf pattern and seasonal flowers provide texture and visual interest.
