Description: In every way 'White Water' is probably the most impressive of the Mexican collection. Bright green new growth mixed with dark green mature foliage sitting like a cloud above dark trunks. The summer blooming is profuse. It is very cold hardy once mature. Collected along a river near the point where the rapids were descending into caves. And thus was named 'White Water'.
