Description
This unusual selection of the European Acanthus mollis comes via a gardener in Tasmania. The bold-textured, dark green leaves with deeply scalloped edges are highlighted by an irregular border that emerges creamy gold, then changes to white as the leaves mature. The older leaves eventually lose most of the coloration. When the 3′ wide clumps mature, they are topped with 5′ tall spikes of true pink flowers…simply stunning! Acanthus mollis prefers a rich, Prefers Wet Soil for best performance.
