Hosta Frances Williams
'Frances Williams' is a popular cultivar that features very large blue-green leaves variegated with irregular greenish-yellow margins. It was discovered by breeder Frances Williams in the mid-1930s. It is a clump-forming perennial that typically matures in a spreading mound to 24" tall, but spreads over time to 48-60" wide. Thick, puckered, cupped, wide-oval to rounded leaves (to 12” long and 11” wide) have distinctive veining, cuspidate tips and cordate lobes. Leaves are deep blue-green in the center with wide but irregular greenish-yellow margins. Funnel-shaped, mostly white flowers appear in early to mid summer in racemes rising to 30" tall. Flowers often have lilac hues.
