(Common Name: Bridal Wreath, Wedding Plant). Large relatives of the alpine Saxifrage with lyre-shaped, fleshy leaves and spires of star-shaped flowers in summer. Dead head first blooms to get a second flush. They grow in sun or part shade - getting glossier leaves in shade. Leave seed heads on in autumn for winter interest. They produce masses of seed that is best saved an sown in trays - we have found that only a few self seeds come up when left to their own devices. Cut back leaves in March / April to encourage fresh growth. There are several species that are very similar - F.sonchifolia and F.appendiculata appear nearly identical to us. We are also trialing F.sonchifolia Molly Anderson. Again this is very similar to the species. We have also tried "Confetti", which is white, but it hasn't been at all hardy with us.
