Acanthus ‘Whitewater’

Forming an attractive mound of large, deeply cut and highly patterned, cream and rich green foliage, this statuesque perennial will also produce upright flower spikes in summer, each bearing two-lipped white flowers that have a hooded, pinkish purple bract. A showy addition to the border where it will help add colour as well as structural interest, it will also do well in a large pot if kept well fed and watered.
