An old favourite with a new twist.
This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.
The Acanthus, or bears breeches, is a striking choice for any garden. Its fabulous glossy foliage was the source of inspirational design in ancient architecture, and it is easy to see why. Topped by strong and colourful flower spikes, the Acanthus dominates the garden with its wonderful architectural form.
Acanthus 'Red Legs' is a little extra special, the stems are vibrant red with mid green leaves.
One of the best things about this plant is it will just about anywhere and almost thrive on neglect! Plant Acanthus 'Red Legs' in full sun to shade. It will grow in poor to humus rich soils and once established is dry tolerant.
