Description
Transform your garden with the stunning Acanthus mollis, a majestic perennial that demands attention. Its glossy, deeply serrated foliage forms an attractive spreading clump that remains semi-evergreen in mild areas, providing year-round interest. From May to August, this plant produces vertical spires of elegant white flowers, each adorned with dark purple hoods that add a striking contrast. Acanthus mollis is the perfect choice for a specimen plant, creating a spectacular focal point in any garden. This hardy perennial thrives in sunny or lightly shaded spots, where it can reach a height of 1.5m (59") and spread to 1m (39"). With its low-maintenance nature, Acanthus mollis is easy to care for. Simply cut down the spent flower stems and remove dead foliage in autumn. For best results, lift and divide overcrowded clumps in spring to rejuvenate the plant and encourage vigorous growth.
