Franchoa ‘Pink Giant’

This wonderful evergreen shade lover is so easy to grow its presence should be more widespread in our shady gardens. In summer and autumn long wands of deep pink flowers rise above mounding crinkly green foliage. Once established it’s surprisingly drought tolerant. It really prefers shade. One of the few plants that thrive in dappled dry shade or half day sun. Excellent cut flower. A fun fact : francoa is also known as ‘Bridal Wreath,’. The long slender flower stalks were woven and used as bridal wreaths – Super sweet! Summertime fun with the kiddos! Perennial zone 8-9
