Acanthus ‘Whitewater’ (Bear’s Breeches)
Acanthus hybrid ‘Whitewater’ makes a bold statement in the garden with its large, deeply cut leaves edged and splashed in creamy white variegation. This vigorous, heat- and humidity-tolerant variety forms a substantial clump of striking foliage, topped in summer by tall, 4-foot flower spikes lined with pink and cream blooms. Bred from Acanthus ‘Summer Beauty’, it offers improved vigor, hardiness, and reliability in challenging garden spots. Perfect as a dramatic accent in shade gardens, perennial borders, or problem areas, and the long, elegant flower stalks make excellent cut flowers.
Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘Whitewater’ for its bold variegated foliage, impressive flower spikes, and tough nature that thrives even in heat, humidity, and shade.
