Frances Williams Hosta
Hosta sieboldiana ‘Frances Williams’
A true classic among shade perennials, the Frances Williams Hosta is admired for its bold texture, impressive size, and striking variegation. This large, mounding hosta features broad, heart-shaped blue-green leaves edged in a vibrant chartreuse to golden yellow margin, creating a dramatic and elegant display in shaded landscapes.
The thick, heavily textured leaves are slug-resistant and hold up well throughout the growing season. In early to mid-summer, tall stalks rise above the foliage bearing pale lavender to white bell-shaped flowers, adding a soft touch of seasonal color and attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.
Perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and foundation plantings, Frances Williams brings reliable structure, color contrast, and a lush, mature look to any shade garden. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance once established.
Make a bold and timeless statement in your shade garden with the richly variegated foliage and reliable performance of Frances Williams Hosta.
