White flowers for a fresh, elegant look

What sets Illumination® White apart is its bright white color, which adds elegance and freshness to any outdoor space. The trailing stems overlap, creating a lush cascade of flowers, perfect for terraces, balconies, or patios.

Thanks to its self-cleaning properties, wilted flowers disappear automatically, allowing new blooms to continue to appear and the plant always looks well-cared for. The pure white flowers are perfect for classic or modern borders, mixed hanging baskets, or potted plants, and combine beautifully with colored begonias or other summer bloomers such as lobelia and bacopa.
