HOSTA FRANCES WILLIAMS CARE
Thriving best in full shade to partial shade, this large hosta prefers moist, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The Frances Williams Hosta will tolerate a planting site with morning sun or filtered light but should be protected from the afternoon sun. An annual application of slow-release fertilizer will provide nutrients the hosta needs to grow healthy and thrive.
The Frances Williams Hosta size is up to 2-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide at full maturity. In colder climates, the large leaves may die back during winter. When the threat of winter frost is gone, you can clear up spent foliage and blossoms to encourage new growth for spring. Divide hostas in early spring or late summer.
Grow this Frances Williams Hosta across the United States in USDA hardiness zones 3-9. It is extremely low maintenance and easy to care for. Be sure to water thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system.
