I've wondered that, too, silly me--I have both but supposedly, as it matures the 'Frosted Jade' will have the frostier look
and be taller--think that's what I recall!! Second year for me and so far--looks like 'Francee'!

Here's what 'MyHostas Database' on the Hosta Library has to say:

"28" tall. Light Shade.
Thin white edge on dark green leaves. Medium lavender flowers appear in June. Attractive lighter green streaks radiate from margin. Gray-green with a white edge, cordate, flat leaves 12" x 9". 42" scape with white flowers. Award winner, magnificent when established.
Grey with white margins.
This H. montana ssp. macrophylla hybrid makes a spectacular large clump to 5' wide of giant dark green leaves with a nice pure white margin. Flowers are pale lavender on 30" scapes in late spring. This is one of the best and least known hostas ever introduced...a spectacular clump in the woodland garden!
The leaves have a waxy, frosted coating similar to that on many blue hostas but not found on any other variegated green cultivars we know of."

and,

"The leaf is a dark jade green with bright white regularly narrow margins. The overlapping of the two colors creates a third muted color: gray/green! A mature plant will have undulations in the leaves. The parentage is a sport of 'Montana' x 'Krossa B-1' hybrid. One of the true classics."

Hope it turns out to be like the description--maybe I need to move mine out into a little more sun!!

That is not frosted jade, but rather Ava Jade on the right.(and Chloe Paige on the left) sorry I couldn't resist. I won't let happen again! Raye

raye - TOO (two) adorable!

janice - i only have francee. i was thumbing through the zillis book (the old one, not the new one) and francee and frosted jade are back to back. i did a double take because the photos are virtually identical. HL even says they both have 10 pr of veins. so i was curious if i was missing something major.

I have both of these and they are nothing alike. Frosted Jade is much, much bigger and has bluish, somewhat upright leaves with a white edge. Francee is medium in size and has green leaves with a while edge. There is no confusing them in person.

And those little girls are too adorable!!

Ahhh, Raye--beautiful twins!!! They look like fun!!!

What a pair of cuties! You can hijack a thread with a photo like that any time!

Thank You all! They are my grandaughters and my pride and joy. They will be two June 16th and aleady know their abc's!
