Acanthus Whitewater

Acanthus Whitewater is a striking, variegated bears breeches forming bold clumps of deeply cut green leaves irregularly edged creamy white, bringing strong architectural presence to mixed borders. In early to mid-summer, tall upright stems carry hooded white flowers with purple-tinged bracts, providing vertical accents and contrast against the foliage. Grow in sun or light shade in a moderately fertile, well-drained soil; ideal for adding structure and texture in perennial schemes and courtyard plantings.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.

Position: Sun or light shade
