There’s a spot in my garden that gets sun for a few hours during spring and fall. In the summer, however it’s in shade. To meet that type of light requirements I’ve planted Hostas ’Francee’. This type of hosta can take full sun to shade.
About Hosta ’Francee’
Hosta ’Francee’ is wonderful perennial that gets around 18-20 inches (45-50 cm) tall and 35-47 inches (90-120 cm) wide. It takes a few years for it to reach that size but when it does it’s quite a sight. It’s also one few hostas that doesn’t get eaten by slugs.
Companion Plants for Hostas
Heuchera ’Palace Purple’ looks pretty in front of the hosta since they contrast in color. For further interest I’ve added Hakonechloa and Iris ”Snow Queen”. While they have a similar color as the hosta, they complement each other in texture and form.
