Acanthus 'Whitewater'

Acanthus (Variegated Acanthus)

Variegated Acanthus

This vigorous, variegated Acanthus has striking, bold leaves with white margins and splashing. Makes a large clump with 4-5' tall ornamental flower stalks of pink and cream in summer.
Great bold accent in the shade garden, perennial border or areas that are difficult to grow in, as this is a tough plant. Flower stalks are good for cutting.
