Hosta Francee

A compact hosta, again with heart shaped leaves but smaller than urea marginata. Olive green leaves are neatly offset with creamy white margins. This is one of the original variegated hosta’s, and is still one of the best out there. Sprays of lilac flowers appear in the summertime. Supplied as bare root division

Planting Instructions

Hosta’s are shade loving plants that are great for brightening up the dull corners of the garden. So these must be planted out of direct afternoon sunlight. These are tough plants, but they prefer heavy soils, and are happy to sit in moist conditions, so they must never be allowed to dry out, especially if growing in containers

Prior to planting, it is best to soak the division for 3-4 hours

Plenty of space should be given to the bare root when planting to allow space for the plant to thrive - I would suggest around 18-24” (45-60cm) from any other plant in the border. Dig a generous sized hole, with the crown a few inches below the soil surface, then backfill. Water in well, and ensure the plant has plenty of water in its first season to allow it to establish
