Marah macrocarpus var. major is more than just your everyday plant. Casting its vivacious charm from the 'Annuals & Perennials' collection, our Southern California native Cucamonga Manroot is a resilient performer. Resplendent in versatile settings of full sun or partial shade, this climbing perennial shines with clusters of creamy white flowers from late winter to spring, announcing the annual revival of life. Its dense, fern-like tapestry of large, coarsely toothed leaves provides a lush shroud, ideal for adorning walls, trellises, or blank spaces with wild beauty. Post-blooming, you'll find it adorned with fascinating, spikey green fruits, adding a unique touch of interest.
