Spiny Bear's Breeches
The Spiny Bear's Breeches, Acanthus spinosus, is a striking perennial plant known for its bold, architectural presence in the garden. It features deeply lobed, dark green leaves with spiny edges, giving it a dramatic and somewhat formidable appearance. In late spring to early summer, tall flower spikes rise above the foliage, adorned with hooded, tubular flowers in shades of white and purple, creating a stunning contrast against the dark leaves. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil with moderate moisture. The Spiny Bear's Breeches is an excellent choice for adding structure and texture to garden borders or as a focal point in landscape designs, with its combination of striking foliage and impressive floral display.
