Description
Francoa sonchifolia ‘Alba’, also known as White Bridal Wreath, is a graceful perennial native to Chile that brings soft elegance and pollinator appeal to shaded borders and cottage gardens. Its scalloped green foliage forms lush rosettes, from which rise slender spikes of star-like flowers in mid to late summer—white with a delicate blush of pink at the center. These long-lasting blooms sway gently in the breeze and attract bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and ecological value. Thriving in fertile, well-drained soil with even moisture, it tolerates sun to partial shade and is surprisingly low-maintenance once established. Growing it from seed offers a rewarding challenge: with light, consistent moisture, and a bit of patience, gardeners can cultivate a rare and refined plant that adds vertical interest and seasonal charm.
