Francee Hosta is best suited for partial to full shade. While it can tolerate some dappled light, too much direct afternoon sun will likely scorch the leaves, so it is best to keep it in a protected, shaded area.

Yes, this hosta is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, the texture and taste of this variety are generally unappealing to deer compared to other garden favorites.

It is a low-maintenance perennial. The only real work required is clearing away the old, dead foliage in early spring before new growth emerges, which keeps the plant looking fresh for the season.

Yes, it produces blooms during the summer months. While the primary appeal of this plant is its lush foliage, the flowers add a nice seasonal interest to shaded garden beds.
