A much-loved favourite of garden designers, show gardens and cottage garden lovers. The architectural presence of Acanthus hungaricus 'White Lips' will draw in both admiring eyes and hungry pollinators when is bursts into bloom between June and August each year. Prior to this the spiny, spiky, and decorative foliage will hold attention from March right through to November each year.Perfect for illuminating dappled shady spots to the back of a border where its architectural elegance (which has featured in classical buildings and traditional interiors for centuries) can be fully appreciated. The tall stems are also excellent for cutting and adding to fresh floral displays, or for drying and adding to a large seasonal arrangement.Acanthus hungaricus 'White Lips' grows best in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. A rabbit and deer resistant, herbaceous, hardy perennial which reaches a height of 1m and spread to 75cm.
