Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

White Virgins bower is a vigorous, deciduous vine with fragrant cream colored flowers in spring and summer and attractive seedheads following. Grows about 15 to 20 feet high and higher. Though it is native to riparian areas, it has a medium drought tolerance so would fit well in a water-wise garden, though maybe not a xeric one. Attractive to beneficial insects and hummingbirds. A Utah native.
