Watsonia Marlothii Alba

This white form of Watsonia marlothii combines the species' tall architectural habit and broad blue-green leaves with elegant pale flower spikes. Mature plants should carry bells in white to ivory, sometimes with a faint cream, mauve or yellow marking in the throat, above strong stems in late spring. Seedlings may show some variation, offering the opportunity to select especially clean colouring and well-filled spikes. Like the South African parent species, it grows through the cool winter-rainfall season and retreats into a completely dry summer dormancy.
