Hypoestes ‘White’

Polka-dot Plant (also known as Hypoestes sanquinolenta) is grown for its pink, red or white mottled and speckled foliage. This loosely branched perennial may reach a height of 12 to 18 inches. The variegated, dark green leaves are ovate in shape and are generally 2 ½ inches long. The lavender or blue flowers occur in terminal and axillary cymes during the summer season. However, the flowers are negligible in comparison to the brightly spotted foliage. Foliage coloration is often more pronounced in a shaded location.
