Acanthus White Water
This vigorous, variegated Acanthus has striking, bold leaves with deeply cut white margins and splashing (how appropriate!) Makes a large clump with 4’ to 5’ tall ornamental flower stalks of pink and cream in summer. This was bred with A. ‘Summer Beauty’ for vigor, more hardiness, and heat and humidity tolerance. Worth jumping in for!
