Acanthus mollis – 14cm pot
A hardy, evergreen, clumping perennial with dark green, leathery foliage. Acanthus mollis is a fast-growing understory plant, best used for mass plantings under taller shrubs or canopy trees. In Summer tall spirals of white flowers appear above the foliage. They look beautiful in perennial borders, cottage gardens or planted into a pot as a feature. Acanthus mollis grows best in a shaded and sheltered area. These tough perennials grow best in humus-rich soil. However, they will tolerate sandy soils if kept watered during dry, hot weather. Use a premium quality potting mix when planting them into pots. Low-moderate water requirements once established in the garden. Occasional watering during the warmer months will keep the plant lush and healthy.
