What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Francee Hosta for its striking aesthetic and excellent initial health. The plant consistently arrives vibrant, showcasing its classic green and creamy white variegation. A major strength is The Sill's reliable packaging, which ensures the delicate foliage arrives undamaged and ready to thrive immediately. Reviewers appreciate the inherent hardiness and ease of care for this resilient variety in shaded areas. The primary point of friction involves value; while quality and service are high, some buyers feel the physical size received does not fully justify the premium price point. Despite this minor concern regarding size versus cost, the overall sentiment is strongly positive due to the guaranteed arrival condition and immediate decorative impact.
