The foliage has a bold, corrugated texture, giving the plant a substantial look in the garden. Its bright leaf margins help illuminate shaded beds, while the blue-green centers add depth, contrast, and a cool woodland feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Strong Specimen Hosta for Shade Design.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large hosta forms a broad, mounded clump that works beautifully as a specimen, focal point, mass planting, or background plant in shade gardens. Use Frances Williams near shaded walkways, under high-canopied trees, along foundation beds, or in woodland borders where its size and texture can anchor the planting. It is especially effective when repeated through a bed to create rhythm and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhite Summer Flowers Above Bold Foliage.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, Frances Williams Hosta produces white to near-white flowers that rise above the foliage on tall scapes. The flowers add a soft seasonal accent and may attract hummingbirds and pollinators. While this hosta is primarily grown for its dramatic foliage, the blooms provide extra height and movement during the summer season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest in Part Shade to Full Shade.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrances Williams Hosta performs best in part shade to full shade with moist, organically rich, well-drained soil. Morning sun or filtered light can be tolerated, but hot afternoon sun can scorch the leaves and diminish variegation quality. Mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, keep roots cool, and support full, healthy foliage through the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Maintenance with Deer and Slug Awareness.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrances Williams Hosta is easy to grow in the right site, but it is not deer-proof. Deer commonly browse hostas, and protection may be needed in landscapes with regular deer activity. Its thick, corrugated leaves are often noted for better slug resistance than thinner-leaved hostas, but slugs can still cause damage in damp shade. Monitor early in the season, remove old foliage after dormancy, and keep the planting area clean for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":55121740202283,"sku":"ufv1788063359485","price":21.42,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/0461\/0347\/files\/frances-williams-hosta_1.jpg?v=1788063364","url":"https:\/\/www.juniperhouse.shop\/products\/frances-williams-hosta","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
