A ‘must have’ evergreen for any garden and a favourite with florists. Francoa sonchifolia is a stunning plant with its pastel pink and white flowers in summer, alongside rosettes of lush green foliage. In fact, it is so popular with florists that its other common name is Bridal Wreath. Even better, this hardy perennial is easy to grow and maintain - making it a great choice for gardeners of all levels and perfect for those of you wishing to establish a cutting garden. The flowers are blush pink and have intriguing markings along with an unusual form that is sure to draw attention in your garden and when cut to create a long-lasting floral display in your home. The foliage is a deep green and provides year-round, gap filling interest. A drought tolerant, hardy (H4) perennial. Once established, Francoa sonchifolia is happy in most well-drained soil, with the exception of heavy clay. A great choice for borders, containers or rock gardens, plants reach a mature height of 80cm, spreading to around 50cm. Prefers a spot in either full sun or partial shade.
