ECO Acanthus hungaricus

Bring structure to your beds and borders with Acanthus hungaricus or Bear’s Breeches, a handsome, long-lived perennial. They’re lovely in the garden and add architectural charm to a summer vase. And as a bonus, bees love the tall, stately spikes of densely-packed pink flowers with lavender hoods above a white tip.

Acanthus comes from the Eastern Mediterranean and thrives best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil but tolerates light shade; it grows to 90 to 150 cm in height, so it will grow well at the back of a border. Our eco-friendly grown plants are 100% pesticide-free, so they’re ideal for increasing the biodiversity of your plot.
