A Western Oregon native bulb

Coming to us from Yunnan

Clusters of blue flowers with reflexed petals bloom in early through mid-summer

Loses leaves in winter in our climate

but it differs with a denser habit

Acanthus 'Whitewater' PP23342, Variegated Bear's Breeches variegated A Western Oregon native bulbLarge, deeply cut leaves, seemingly dusted with snow, form a large clump that sends up tall spikes of luminous white flowers with pink tips. Early to mid summer bloom. This veritably glows in the garden. Give it a dark backdrop and it will be a lantern! For arrangements, there is little that is more dramatic or longer lasting than these flower spikes. This plant is tough, robust, and tolerant of heat and humidity for those of you in southern climes.
