Acanthus mollis
Acanthus mollis, known as Bear’s Breeches, is a bold, architectural perennial prized for its dramatic presence. It forms a lush clump of glossy, deeply lobed dark-green leaves, typically 3–4 ft tall and 2–3 ft wide, with erect flower spikes reaching up to 5–6 ft. In late spring to midsummer, the plant produces striking tubular white to mauve-pink blooms topped with purple hooded bracts—perfect for fresh or dried arrangements. Exceptionally adaptable, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, prefers well-drained, fertile soil, and is low-maintenance once established.
