Morina longiflora, Himalayan Whorl Flower

Whorls of pendent, narrowly tubular white flowers with bits of pink and flared openings cascade from 3' stems. Striking! Its prickly foliage has a decidedly fresh scent, much like line-dried laundry! The flowers and the scent are worth the prickles. Pollinated by moths. Clumping. Best grown in full sun with well-drained soil, especially for us West Coast gardeners who get all our rain in the winter, this plant prefers a drier site in cold months. This perennial accepts regular water, but handles drought just fine too.  Mature size: 2-3 ft T x 1-2 ft W Minimum temperature: 10° F
