Hosta 'francee'

What is the plant

Even though Francee hosta does flower, it is grown mainly as a foliage plant: Its two-toned leaves are attractive in their own right and also provide a coarse texture that contrasts nicely with more delicate plants such as forget-me-not (Myosotis scorpioides). This member of the asparagus family is a must-have for gardeners with lots of shade and an appreciation for what interesting foliage brings to a landscape.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Like many perennial plants, watering a hosta deeply will be imperative - on average, they require about an inch (2.5 cm.) of water each week. by establishing a weekly watering schedule, plants can develop a more robust root system that is better able to access water deep in the soil.
Pruning
Just remove dead leaves and stems.
Fertilizer
When it comes to fertilizers, you want to avoid over-fertilizing (just like an overdose of vitamins isn't great for us, either). Less is more, so it’s important to follow what the package says for application amounts.
