There is a white flowered form which I find less attractive that is grown by specialists. Also a miniature form which I would like to own. Experts argue whether these are winter or summer growers but both genera are fairly easy in cultivation and they will tolerate some frost. I water in summer and give them just an occasional splash in winter. They do however require strong sunlight to grow compactly and flower.
Propagation is from seeds or cutting.
If you have room for just one, grow the Frithia. Trev Ed . Next our thanks to Barry and Jack for articles about our branch show. It really was a long and tiring weekend, but very enjoyable. First of all a very big thank you to everyone who helped over the weekend, either by entering your plants, helping with the fundraising on the plant sales and tombola, or meeting and talking with the garden centre customers, several of who have been converted to new members as a result.
