Hosta Pathfinder Rubus resembling a tiny red lizardThis unique Hosta 'Francee' mutation is almost certainly a reverse tetraploid of the parent similar to Hosta 'Loyalist'. The black green slightly rippled foliage is background to the brilliant creamy white central pattern on each leaf. Each 2' wide clump is indeed a glowing beacon in the garden. In early summer, the clumps are topped with 20" scapes of light lavender flowers.
