Considered by many to be the best white-margined Hosta Lily, 'Francee' features an impressive, lush mound of heart-shape, white edged, deep green leaves from which rise abundant tall stems in summer holding clusters of tubular lavender flowers the hummingbirds will appreciate. More sun tolerant than other hostas and slug resistant in our gardens, Francee is a classic, easy-to-grow perennial perfect for growing in both garden beds and containers.
