Full description

White Asarina, commonly known as Climbing Snapdragon, is a fast-growing ornamental vine producing elegant, pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers with a soft fragrance. The blooms resemble miniature snapdragons and appear continuously throughout the growing season. Its heart-shaped green foliage creates a lush backdrop, making it ideal for trellises, fences, arbors, hanging baskets, and containers.

 

This plant is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. White Asarina is valued for its graceful climbing habit, long flowering period, and ability to quickly cover vertical spaces in the garden. It is primarily grown for decorative purposes in cottage gardens and ornamental displays.

Medicinal properties:

No documented medicinal uses. White Asarina is grown purely as an ornamental plant.
