Acanthus

The handsome foliage and flowers of Acanthus or Bear’s Breeches make a dramatic statement in a large herbaceous border. Our Acanthus plants are 100% pesticide-free and are perfect for organic gardening.

This easy-to-grow, long-lived perennial is valued for its glossy, rich green foliage. And as a bonus, bees and other pollinators adore the tall, stately columns of flowers, each with a pink or purple hood over a white lip. There’s a cultivar to suit every garden – some grow tall and spread while others are compact and well-suited to a smaller plot.
