Acanthus mollis ‘Whitewater’ (Variegated Bear’s Breeches)

Acanthus mollis ‘Whitewater’ is a spectacular evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial prized for its bold, architectural foliage and striking variegation. Its large, deeply lobed leaves are richly coloured dark green with dramatic creamy-white splashes, creating a bright focal point in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and tropical-style landscapes throughout the year.

In summer, tall flower spikes rise above the foliage, displaying elegant cream-white and soft pink flowers framed by deep purple bracts. Hardy, vigorous, and easy to maintain, ‘Whitewater’ adds exceptional texture, contrast, and structure to the landscape, making it an outstanding feature or mass-planted specimen.
