Our all-green acanthus is a massively popular foliage plant : architecturally handsome, grows in most soils, drought and cold tolerant, tall flowers in summer. It's got the lot.

Whitewater takes all that up to the next level with fantastically patterned white leaves, and pale pink-white flowerstems too. It's a stunning herbaceous plant for your flower borders, or in a big pot to really show it off.
