#ProPlantTips for Care:

Frances Williams loves the shade. In fact, too much sun can end up scorching the leaves. Keep them happy with well-drained soil that gets plenty of water during the growing season. The best way to water these Perennials is by getting under the leaves, directly on the soil, otherwise, the big leaves act like an umbrella and keep the water from going where you want it to. Almost completely pest and carefree, the only thing you'll want to keep an eye out for are slugs. Provide moderate yet consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Hosta appreciates a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch chips to help hold in moisture. Deadhead after flowers fade, and clean the foliage away from the plant once it dies back in the autumn.
