Propagation Notes Foamflower
Seems to do best when left alone in the garden for a few years to spread on its own. Don't make the mistake I didn't and disturb the patch before it has a chance to truly make a name for itself. When dividing be stingy with what you take and generous with what you leave!
A wooden garden looks like an angel with a cute sun . The sign says Garden Angel.
