Frances Williams Hosta

Frances Williams Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage.  The very large blue-green basal leaves have irregular yellow-green margins and deep veins.  The small bell-like purple tinted white flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.    

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Painted Fern, Japanese Forest Grass, Bleeding Heart
