    Hi

    Please could someone help me to identify this plant that a former work colleague gave me last year?

    Many thanks

    Looks very like my francoa sonchifolia John tall thin flower spikes in summer with white flowers with pink flecks, very pretty, more common name bridal wreath.

      I would agree with you Simbad. Whilst it doesn't flower for that long, you can leave the flower stalks on as added interest for a long period.
