A new form of this wonderful, EASY, shade perennial. ‘Rogerson’s Form’ is shorter, only to about 1’ tall and bears brighter pink, almost magenta spikes with little magenta star markings. Francoas, also known as “Maiden’s Wreath,” are simple to grow and not fussy about soil. They like bright, dappled shade or morning sun/afternoon shade. Water to establish and after that they require little irrigation. The flower spikes are borne in profusion above very pretty, wavy, lobed, evergreen leaves. Vigorous and will spread somewhat. Excellent cut flower!
