FRANCOA SEEDS

The Francoa genus, commonly known as Bridal Wreath, is a charming member of the Saxifragaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their elegant, tall spikes of star-shaped flowers in soft shades of pink, white, or lavender, which bloom throughout summer. Francoa adds a touch of grace and romance to borders, cottage gardens, and shaded spots.

Native to Chile, Francoa thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soils and prefers partially shaded to sunny locations. These hardy plants are drought-tolerant once established, making them a versatile choice for a variety of garden styles. Species such as Francoa sonchifolia are particularly admired for their long flowering period and ability to attract pollinators.

The Francoa genus combines beauty, resilience, and easy maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking elegant plants with a long-lasting display of blooms.
