Nierembergia Rivularis belongs to the Solanaceae family and is used as an ornamental plant in many regions. The common name for the plant is White Cup flower or the Water Nierembergia. It is native to South America where it grows in abundance and has been naturalized to many other regions of the world.

It is mostly seen in rock gardens and alpines where the white color of the plant looks fantastic. The annual plant needs to be watered regularly but owners should make sure not to overwater the plant. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot and weigh down the leaves of the plant so that they begin to droop.

It can thrive in full sun to partial shade. The plant can survive in mildly acidic to alkaline soil (pH 6.1 to 8.5). It grows well in Hardiness USDA zones 7-10. The best place to grow the plant is outdoors since it likes the sun and spreads well. The soil type should be moist but well-drained. You can also grow it in a soil-based potting mix in full light.

The herbaceous plant can be grown up to 12-18” inches in height. They can spread to a width of 15-24” inches which is a great ground cover. This can protect the soil and create a great looking blanket of flowers across the ground. The flower is white in color, which looks lovely against the dark green foliage of the plant. The flowers have a yellow center and a bell shape. The bloom season of the plant is from mid-summer till late summer or fall.

It can also become damaged by snails and slugs if you plant it outside. In some rare cases, it can also get affected by some viruses such as the tobacco mosaic virus.
