Insights
These delightfully pretty flowers are native to Chile, while they are tolerant of cool, mild weather, being semi-hardy they will not like prolonged frosts so protect in the winter. The sonchifolia in the name means the leaves resemble those of sow or milk thistles.
Details
Long lasting flowers appear in midsummer and last until October.
Planting
- Well drained, fertile, moist soil
- South or west facing
- Full sun, partial shade
Care
If you have not used them for arrangements, once the flowers are spent it is lovely to leave them in situ since they look extremely attractive in the autumn garden.
