Francoa sonchifolia
Francoa are evergreen clump-forming perennials, with rosettes of leaves from which arise stems with clusters of pale pink 2 cm. flowers, marked with deeper pink veins inside, in Summer
Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Early Autumn
Bridal-wreath bears its spires of flowers from mid Summer to early Autumn
Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-draining soil in a sheltered site (these plants are not fully hardy), preferably in full sun.
Propagating by division
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Divide the clumps in Spring, and replant the divisions.Using a fork dig up the clump, trying to keep it as complete as possible. Split the clump at the centre with a sharp knife or a spade, or by placing two garden forks back-to-back into the middle of the root ball, and pushing the fork handles apart.to lever the clump apart. Replant the new clumps to the same depth as the original, and water well. Keep well watered until established.
