Hosta Plantain Lily Frances Williams

Transform shaded areas in your garden with the dramatic foliage of Frances Williams Hosta, a well-loved classic variety known for its large, blue-green, heart-shaped leaves edged in chartreuse. Reaching 24 inches tall with a generous 4-foot spread, this substantial hosta creates impressive mounds that add bold texture and color contrast to shaded beds and borders. Pale lilac-white flowers appear on tall scapes in midsummer, adding vertical interest above the striking foliage. Its dense, low-mounding habit makes it exceptional for mass plantings and groundcover use in woodland gardens or along shaded pathways.
