Browallia 'Snow White'

Browallia americana
This charmer calls Latin America home but happily grows in northern areas. Described as early as 1768 as B. Elata or tall browallia, this variety has a bevy of small pure white flowers with bright yellow eyes. It blooms all summer, bringing a crisp white dressiness to cottage gardens.

PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Browallia 'Snow White' is a profuse bloomer, delightful in drifts at the front of the border. Easy to grow, for best growth and flowering, provide full sun in cooler climates, while in warmer climates, it prefers some afternoon shade. Pinching the plant when setting out will encourage bushy growth, resulting in more abundant blooming. If overwintering in pots indoors, bring them in before nighttime temperatures dip below 40°F, placing them near a sunny, south-facing window, where they will continue to bloom with proper care and attention. Self-sows.
