Acanthus hungariucus 'White Lips'
Every garden deserves the presence of at least one Acanthus plant. This variety boasts large, deeply cut shiny leaves, reaching up to 60cm in length, forming substantial clumps. Tall spikes adorned with pink and white flowers, enveloped by purple bracts, add elegance to the display. With a height of 75cm (30"), it thrives in various growing conditions.
Consider pairing it with other cottage garden favourites like Lupinus (Lupine), Alchemilla mollis (Lady's Mantle), or Astrantia major (Masterwort) for a stunning floral arrangement.
